| That's odd. What output does this command give?:
|
| su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'
|
| (I'm hoping it lists the network printer there...)
Context: my F18 system currently has a working printer setting,
installed through the CUPS web interface.
When I go to System Settings: Printers, I can see only one printer,
called RedPaper, at IP address redpaper.mimosa.com (as it should be).
Here's the lpinfo output. The one interesting URI isn't what I want
or expect. It points to the printer as made available by a different
computer (redclaw) on my network, not the printer itself (redpaper).
So lpinfo does not correspond to what SS:P shows.
The fact that printing works (last I check) doesn't tell me which
version is being used since I would expect both to function.
