Hi folks,
This seems like it should be trivial, but I'm having trouble.
I have a printer attached via ethernet cable to a router, a server computer also ethernet attached on the same network. The printer is installed on the server computer, which was the cups systemd service started and enabled. I can print directly from the server no problem.
Now, my laptop has libcups installed, and I want to print from it. So i enable printer sharing from the cups administration page, save changes, and nothing, bringing up the print menu on my laptop shows no options.
My server computer is set at a static ip, say 1.1.1.1, so I modified the client /etc/cups/client.conf:
ServerName 1.1.1.1:631
Still nothing.
In the CUPS wiki, Avahi is mentioned for discovering networked printers, but this seems unnecessary in such a simple use case.
It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
