After plenty of = haggling=2C I managed to get it print a test page under CUPS. The USB printer's details are as under : hp:/usb/HP_LaserJet_M1005?serial=3DKJ3AZFA http://localhost:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_M1005 My local IP is 192.168.10.101 In my next level of graduation=2C I have to get it to print directly from c= lients : 1) on the local system=2C mostly GNOME. Current clients have only have 2 op= tions in the Print dialog : Print To File and Print To LPR. Something needs= to be done beyond the handbook mandate to make clients realize there is so= mething called CUPS too 2) On the network=2C mostly Windows boxes. I tried adding http://192.168.10= .101:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_M1005 as a network printer using Windows' all= -powerful Add A Printer tool. The tool however complains that it could not = find the printer. My /usr/local/etc/cups/client.conf has the following line : ServerName 192.168.10.101 Any help to make the printer fully functional will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Manish Jain =
