[Tfug] printer

[Ray Reeves]

what I found out was something simple, I did not add a fore slash to the end of the address. I was able to address the printer directly through the browser but the system still does not see it to add it.

Are you using CUPS? I have several HP's at the office that I connect 
to with CUPS. When you put in the address, try something like 
socket://192.168.0.250/9100 

If that doesn't work, try finding out if 9100 is the correct port, as 
it may be different depending on how it's configured. I also vaguely 
remember that socket:// can also be http:// or something else that 
slips my mind at the moment depending on the printer configuration.
