How-to Print Server TE100-P1U + Fedora + CUPS

[Duli]

Since I´ve lost a few hours discovering how to configure my Trendnet TE100-P1U in CUPS, I think it´s good idea to post this how-to, in order to collaborate.

First, make sure cups service is up and running.

Then, open your browser and type "localhost:631", to open the CUPS administration page.

Click in "Add printer" and follow the instructions.

The trick part is to get the printer address right.

Choose for device "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" and as address:

socket://printerIP:9100

(PS: printerIP should be your printer address, as in 192.168.102)

Then select the apropriate driver for your model (do not try to use generic drivers that´s not for your specifc printer)

Now it should work!

cheers

I had run into difficulty setting up the TrendNet printserver in CUPS. I somehow got it working for my laser printer (TE100-P1P); however, I couldn't get it to work with my inkjet (TE100-P1U). The difference, I think, was the method that I used to set up the laserjet last year (though it worked, I could not remember how I did it). I must not have used the CUPS web interface because it looked unfamiliar to me. Anyway, your post helped me get the inkjet working too! Thanks again.

P.S. I had to add users to the list of who is allowed to print; before that, I got a message that said

Error:  
           Quota limit reached

Glad you could sort it out!!!
