Hi,

Is there some body that can help me to setup a printer? I am new on
Linux, and most of the entry required I do not know what to enter in.
I had send similar message before but I did not get any answer. I
understand your have a large number of messages to get to, but please
try to understand our new user problem, without your help we could not
survive very long with Linux, I have several friends that tried Linux
for a short period of time and then abandon it. I am the stubborn one,
but now I am stuck,I need to use this printer it is the only one that I
have to print on paper 17x22.
I very much appreciate if some one can give me a detailed guideline on
what to enter on various setup phase, one answer I received pointed me
to http://localhost:631 but then what I enter to various steps? I try to
enter some thing but Icould not get pass the verification stage the user
or the password were not accepted, I assume that it want the root PW but
I also tried the user PW, no luck.
Some info on my system:
Dell Dimension 8300.
Netgear router WGR614v6
Printer Server Netgear PS101
Printer Epson Stylus Color 1520
It work fine with windows and these are the setting as listed on the
Router: Printer Server Netgear PS101. Lan manager printer port
PSE6D76B
Printer server port LPT1:PSE6D76B
Server Name PSE6D76B
IP Address 192.168.1.3

Epson Setup: Name Epson1520
Hostname 192.168.1.3
Queue PSE6D76B

Thank you in advance
Vinny

Ok - the first thing is that the user and password it is asking for
defaults to root and root's password. Normal users login and
password do not work unless they are added.

From there, you want the Administration tab. From there you can
click on the Find New Printers. If the printserver supports IPP,
then you can have CUPS can find it for you. It will do most of the
setup for you.

If CUPS does not find the printer, you will have to use Add New
Printer. You then will want to pick LPD/LPR Host or Printer.

The next step is to enter "lpd://192.168.1.3/PSE6D76B" at the Device
URI: prompt. From there it is just a matter of selecting your
printer from the menu.

As the last step, you will have to enter root as the user name and
root's password for the password to save the new printer.

Except I don't see that the Epson 1520 is a supported printer so a
driver will have to be downloaded and installed. Maybe from Epson web
site,

Why LPD:// if it's via an IP address?

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.

To tell it the protocol to use. That way it knows the port on the
printserver, as well as the "language" to use. It is like using
http:// or ftp:// in a web browser. You use lpd://, ipp://, smb://,
etc in CUPS.

For example, I have:
DeviceURI ipp://192.168.1.101:631/ipp
and
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0
for 2 of my printers in /etc/cups/printers.conf.
