Hi Clive.
I can print a test page from the CUPS interface so cups see's the
printer. Your URL starts ipp, whereas Ive been using http so mine would
be
http://192.168.0.1:631/printers/epson.
I had changed printers as the epson is old and was connected via
parallel cable. The HP deskjet does both parallel & usb. After
disconnecting the epson & rebooting, CC goes through its unconfiguring
of the epson.
I then connected the HP via USB, set up via cups, rebooted and
configured after the "Checking for new hardware" screen. Then on my
laptop I installed the HP by directing it to the CC printer, via the
http address. Tried printing a test page and nothing happened. So I
tried uninstalling / reinstalling this time via parallel cable, and
again no test page printed from my laptop.
Its just really weird that the epson worked ok via http address, but the
HP doesnt. So as you gave your address as starting with ipp, then should
I try connecting through ipp rather than "Windows printer via samba" on
the http address, when I set the printer up on the LAN machines ?
Hope that makes sense.
Phillip
