I have network IPP working on Ubuntu and Windows XP. On my Windows 7 instance, it refuses to acknowledge the remote server connection. Can anyone suggest how to configure this correctly?
My install steps are:
- Add Printer
- Add a Local Printer
- Create a New Port and "Standard TCP/IP Port"
- Enter hostname
http://host:631/printers/Printer_Name
After that it says the printer is not detected, asks me to pick a driver, and finish up. Trying to use the device does not produce any output?
If anyone has got this work, I would really appreciate a fix.
Why are you telling it "Local Printer" when by definition, its a Networked Printer? – Rob Cowell – 2011-06-23T08:46:02.293
2My understanding is that it is "local" in the sense that the port object is defined and allows Windows to ignore exactly where the end-point of the port is. I did try the "network" route, but it appeared to reach the same result (creating a new port reference), only with additional steps. I'll agree 100%, that who ever worked on this software did a bang-up job making it incomprehensible to a regular user. – cmcginty – 2011-06-23T09:59:23.773
