Hello,
I want to print to a HP Laserjet. The Printer is accessable over a TCP/IP-Network.
But I can't connect to the printer via cups. Because the backend "network socket" insn't enabeld. As you can see:
lpinfo -v
network http
network ipp
direct canon:/dev/lp0
direct epson:/dev/lp0
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
file cups-pdf:/
network smb
The directory /usr/lib/cups/backend/ contains also no File with a name "socket".
My Question is, how can I enable the socket backend support?
For samba I've seen the following command
ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb.
Thanks
Matthias
