I am trying to print from an XP machine to a F14 but it is defeating me.
I am running the IIS system on XP which is supposed to support the ipp
protocol for accessing printers. It has a HP Deskjet on it as a local
printer.

Cups on the F14 is supposed to also support ipp communication.

In the XP documentation you are supposed to able to browse for printers
in the add printer GUI but none is found by my XP. It is also suggested
in the documentation to try:
http://host-address/printers to reveal printers on networked machines
but I get nothing.

Can anyone describe the method to get this to work? I have tried many
other things but nothing works. What am I missing

Have you run Admin->Firewall and opened up the correct port. There's a
check box for CUPS printer server.

I've never seen browsing IPP work, but if I explicitly add an IPP printer
I happen to know exists on the network, I can print from XP fine to
my fedora box (where the printer is attached).

Browsing printers exported via samba works on XP, but about fedora 10
or 12 actually printing stopped working via samba. Rather than figure out what
was wrong, I switched to printing via IPP.

I have tried that and it has not worked. Could you desctibe exactly how
you did that. Which option in the Add Printer GUI did you use and what
did you type there:
I have tried: ipp://hostname/printer/<printer queue name>
and that did not work..

Printing to that printeer works without configuration on the client
machine so I assume firewall ports are not the problem.
