A bit strange, but yes, I now have the cups.sock
interface, but I
have a catch
22 that prevents remote printer setup. As a user, you do not have
sufficient to
generate ppd files for this printer at home (normal HP Laserjet
4). In
administrator mode, after selecting the printer and pressing
'Next' the select
printer driver page loads, but the Manufacturer List and Printer
List are blank
-- nada....
Have a look:
That's one I can't explain. (1) user sees manufacturer and
printers, but can't
gen the ppd, (2) root just can't see the printer in order to be
able to generate
the ppd file. (God I miss the days of just selecting the PPD
instead of a
autogenerate on the fly scheme...)
Any thoughts?
Share the exact steps.
That you see a list of available printers probably means CUPS is
configured correctly.
My printer is connected as a network device. After you share the
exact steps I'll try to duplicate here.
