I've had to edit the destination in different OS's, especially when I had my printer connected to my parallel port. My current is a Epson-777 Color inkjet printer with a $40 Edimax printserver attached to the end of it with a static IP, so my file looks like this: ################ # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.12 # Written by cupsd on Thu 27 Dec 2001 06:44:50 PM GMT <DefaultPrinter epson777> Info Epson Stylus Color Inkjet Printer Location 192.168.7.99 DeviceURI socket://192.168.7.99 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> ################ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
