[cups.general] Installation on a not fully qualified domain (SOHO)

[B. Mitchel Latta]

I have installed a wireless SOHO, (Libranet 2.8.1 based) and have 
decided to share my printers via a print server... I am cable connected 
and receive my network address' from the ISPs DHCP server; therefore, 
the address of the print server changes on startup... The printers 
locally connected to the print server, all function correctly...

I can get the print server to broadcast its presence to the rest of my 
192.168.x. network, but remote printing from the other clients does not 
happen... The remote printers are listed in the  client machine print 
manager, and the Cups printer screens of the clients, but the 
information gives an IPP address, sometimes for the wrong machine, and 
all of the remote CUPs server connected printers appear to be connected 
to LP0.

As I do not have a fully qualified domain, I cannot name the server by 
any general or "short" name... I would really rather not set up a proxy 
server, a local DHCP server, DNS server and the like, nor use static 
host address' if possible... I do use one or two WIN98 systems on the 
network, that will share the printers, to take care of utilities that 
are not available in LINUX as yet...

Mitch :-)
