We have 2 computers at home both connected to a Netgear Prosafe VPN Firewall/Router, model FVS-318. Just recently changed from SuSE 9.2 to FC3 on both boxes. Love FC3!! The admin program in the router tells me I've got box #1 with an IP of 192.168.0.2 and box #2 with an IP of 192.168.0.3. On box #1 (which is where the HP usb printer is attached) should I set up the printer as an IPP(http), IPP(ipp), Hal, or as a local USB printer? After set up in Cups, I can turn on 'sharing' in the gnome printconf gui correct? Once sharing is on, do I only share it with 192.168.0.3? On box #2 same questions, ipp(http), ipp(ipp)? Those options require a device URL name. I realize it depends on the answer to the previous question but am I close with this: Device URI: http://192.168.0.2:631/ipp/631 Do I need the queue appended to that URI? The queue on the server is /printer/deskjet-5550. I keep getting messages on the client saying the network host 192.168.0.2 is busy. What have I screwed up besides everything? Thank you!!!
