I have a home network configured as follows: Server - running Fedora Core .95 beta. Laptop - running Redhat 8.0 Connected via Netgear RP114(?) web safe router Printer is HP841C connected to Server via usb Printing from laptop worked fine under previous config (Redhat 7.3 was on previously on server, and printing was via lpd), but I cannot get printing to work from laptop now. Cups is installed on server and printer works fine when printing from server. Printer has been configured on laptop every possible way, but will not print. Have read google posts, howtos, and cups docs for 2 days, but nothing works. nmap shows port 631 on server, but DOES NOT show it on laptop. Firewalls are completely off on both laptop and server. Question 1 - Are there issues with doing this in fedora? Am I hitting some known problem with the beta? Question 2 - Can I just abandon CUPS and use the old lpd? It worked perfectly for me, and was not difficult to configure. I can't seem to find it on the new distro. Is it not provided with fedora? Question 3 - Is the NETGEAR router a possible problem? Could it be blocking visibility to port 631? Any suggestions about that if so? Question 4 - Is there anybody on this list who has managed to get a similar printing scenario up and running? Thanks in advance for the help. Getting a printer to work should not be this difficult. I must be doing something terribly wrong, but can't figure it out. Obviously, if I can't print with fedora, I can't use fedora, so I must resolve this. Regards, Bill Johnson
