cups sucks

[François Patte]

Bonjour,

I try to configure a printer on my local network: computer A has an usb
printer plugged in. It works.

From computer B I want to use the computer plugged into A. I use
localhost:631 and configure the printer as ipp://A/ipp

After completing the drivers and so on, I send a test page from B
"printer is not responding"

On cups page on computer B I can see this printer: printer@A etc.

When I click on the link: "address has not been recognized".


This printer is shared, firewalld accept requests on ipp port....

sigh!

Thank you for any clue.

Is computer A "sharing" the printer?

Is that firewalld on computer A or B?

Is anything on computer A listening on port 631?

Hi François
did you activate cups-browsed preferably on both machines?

systemctl start cups-browsed
systemctl enable cups-browsed

Did you let CUPS detect the printer or did you enter that address 
manually?  Unless "A" is registered in your local DNS or hosts file, it 
will need to be resolved via MDNS, AKA Bonjour.  Make sure you have the 
package nss-mdns installed.
