Right? Not necessarily. This case is somewhat special. Are you saying you want that printer available to all the client machines. To do that you need to read very carefully the document on the web interface concerning configuring cupsd.conf. Otherwise , you probably will not to be able to print to that printer from the machine it is attached to. If you tell me it is printing to that machine as well as the other machines you have lucked out. -- ======================================================================= We totally deny the allegations, and we're trying to identify the allegators. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
