Hi all; I have an HP printer running successfully on my downstairs Linux OS (FC5); it also runs on my dual booted WindowsXP downstairs. However. I can't seem to get the network configuration right so that the upstairs computer, exclusively WindowsXP (my wife's), can find my downstairs HP when I am in Linux. WindowsXP (upstairs) to WindowsXP (downstairs) prints fine. And, I get no joy from Windows help or newsgroups or RedHat manuals or help. Do I have to set something else up in Linux so the Upstairs WindowsXP can find my downstairs Linux and HP printer? If so, what? I have spent almost a full day on this issue. I am sure there is some personal stupidity involved, but none-the-less, "off it didn't go" for me. In the WindowsXP machine, I went to the network add printer; chose the anonymous account; put in the URL as http://192.168.1.4:631/printers/psc-1310-series---1 and got the warning "you do not have access to the printer. please try a different user name or password." Any other address configuration which I tried gave me a "not connected" message. I have tried replacing anonymous with name: bill pw: ********* and root ******* but continue to get the same warning. My CUPS for this printer is set up for any host. I have double checked the following with nmap IP ==> 192.168.1.4:631 (downstairs computer) and with http://localhost:631/admin ==> usb_device_3f0_3f11_CN45PB613FO2_if1_printer_CN45PB613FO2 psc-1310-series---1 (Default Printer & Name) My home network consists of two computers connected independently to a router and then out to the Internet through a cable modem. I tried LinuxPrinting.Org but their forum is a news group to which I don't have access. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received. -- Regards Bill
