I have been trying unsuccessfully to setup a Cups printer for sharing on the second PC of my home network. Sure would appreciate a lead to get this working. I am using a Linksys router set for DHCP mode assigning the IP addresses. The printer I want to share works fine by itself (connected to a Dell 4100). I first setup that printer on this PC for sharing (any host). I then tried to add a Cups LPP printer to the other PC (Dell WS360) using the printer configuration GUI. The server ID there was set for the d4100 PC's IP address and the queue path was set for /dev/lp0. I tried other combinations but could not get a print test to work. A note on the printer config gui lpp printer line indicates that it could not look up host ip address. I did a search in the archive and on the net. Could not find a solution. I do not have port 631 blocked. Both PC's use Fedora Core 2 installed for the default host name, localhost.localdomain. I wondered if the host name had to be changed and that used as the server ID instead of the ip address. There is probably an easy solution here but I sure have missed it. Norm
