And your cups.configs can use a syntax such as 192.168.71.3:631 and all the other machines on the local network that have cups configured like that in their cups client.conf files can use this printer as if it was a locally connected printer. If the client machines also have that line in their hosts file, then they can use syntax such as "coyote:631" in the client.conf files just as easily. Note that all of this may be rendered obsolete by ipv6, which I haven't attempted to grok yet. >::1 localhost.localdomain localhost > >Now I do not have any idling on cups at booting stage. > >Any clarification??? >-- >Antonio Montagnani >Skype : antoniomontag -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
