I know this isn't supposed to be that hard, but everytime I try this, it is
really, REALLY aggravating..
my IP address on my Debian box changed, from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.103
my wife has a M$ Vista laptop (cough) and I shared my Epson R380 printer for
her.
her printer on the vista box is
http://192.168.10.2:631/printers/Gutenprint_USB_Printer_1
I can't seem to modify that, and it is all smoke & mirrors and I forget the
sequence I had to do, to get that box to recognize that printer..
on Debian, lpstat says:
paulandcilla:/etc# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Gutenprint_USB_Printer_1
device for Gutenprint_USB_Printer_1: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R380
Gutenprint_USB_Printer_1 accepting requests since Wed 29 Apr 2009 09:17:16 PM

printer Gutenprint_USB_Printer_1 is idle. enabled since Wed 29 Apr 2009
