lpd network printing problem

[Greatrebel]

Hi all

I got a problem, when I tried to connect with network printers in my school under Fedora 5. In Fedora printing manager, I created new network printers with setting
the lpd server as naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk which is the lpd server in my school, give the right queue names for the printers. However, after I printed, the document had a stopped status. I tried several different printers, all of the printed documents were stopped. Those network printers work fine with Windows Samba. So do I need to set anything else for the configuration in the printing manager?

Thanks

Is naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk resolvable have you tried using its IP address instead?

You might have more luck doing the setup from the CUPS web utility. If you navigate to http://localhost:631 , you will be able to add printers and the like from there. I'm not sure you'll see anything different from what you see in the Fedora print manager, but I've had success with that web utility.

Thanks for your help. I tried both the IP address and http://localhost:631. Neither of them can work. For http://localhost:631, I chose LPD/LPR host or print and set device URI as lpd://naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk/eeps5, is that correct for configuration?
Thanks again

Try "lpd://naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk/lp" as the Device URI. Does that help anything?

thanks a lot madscientist! lpd://naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk/lp can not make any change. Actually, eeps5 is the printer queue name. I asked IT support staff in my school, however, they said they were not familiar with fedora printing. Do you or anybody else have any other idea? Thanks

Can you ping naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk from the machine on which you are trying to install the printer?

[Greatrebel]

yes, I did ping naslpd.see.ed.ac.uk by the command dig, it looked fine.
Thanks
