Hello interrested members of this list,
(and hopefully one expert among you, who is willing share the solution.;-)

I have one printer, connected to lpt#1, (local) which is shared in the
network.
The machine, an IBM PIV 1.8Ghz, is one part productionmachine: XP,
shares printer to all windows, and linux clients, + is Dual boot SuSE
10.3 testingmachine.
The printer must be able to print at all times.

If the productionmachine (XP) is on, no problem to find the printer, and
use it, Windows easy, Linux bij using the ip adress for the printer.

But, when SuSE103 is on, the one printer is seen as the networkprinter,
AND as the local printer, so 2 printers are listed, and either one of
them is useable.
When i want to use the local one, this is 'forbidden' by cups
(localhost:631),
When i want to use the network printer, it is paused...
So no printing can be done when testing SuSE103...

We talk about 'one' EPSON Stylus C64 Photoedition, using CUPS+Gutenprint
v5.0.0, for Lin2Win, and if possible for Lin2Lin.

How can i solve this? (is it solvable?)

(unfortunately this model cannot work with a printserver, if so, there
would be no problem at all..)

Have a nice day,
