Bob, Thank you for jumping in! On both computers I've opened up port "631:udp" in 'other ports' under 'Security Level' in the Gnome application menu. Firewall is active on both boxes, so is SE Linux. When I open up http://localhost:631 on box #1, I see the locally connected HP as device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0. Test page worked fine. When I open up http://localhost:631 on box #2, I see "No printers". I have not specifically opened up port 631 on the Netgear FVS 318 router at this time. I guess because I didn't need to do that when I played with SuSE 9.1. Steve |
