I have a linux server that is running a printer with default queue named: printer.
I want to connect lion to it.
So i created a printer by adding a ipp printer.
It did not work, so I went to:
found the added printer there and modified as ipp http and raw queue and link to linux server as:
http://linux:631/printers/printer
i was able to test a print page , but the printer is not showing in printers menu?
any ideas?
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
The issue will be that you've made it a local RAW printer. These do not appear in Print & Scan pane. If you want to see the printer in Print & Scan then you should select a supporting PPD or a Make other than RAW. Note that some vendors printer drivers have not been designed to work with cross-platform connections. So you may have to look at an open source driver if the printer does not support Postscript.
Problem solved. It turns out that Mac OS X doesn't listen by default to CUPS broadcasts that advertise network printers running on other CUPS servers. So, on a terminal session at the Mac, just type
cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'
Connecting to linux cups server
