Greetings:
I have a problem with Fedora 9. The printer is connected to a D-Link
DI-824VUP Wireless Router. Has a DB-25 printer port) The printer is a Brother HL-1240.
I cannot seem to get CUPS to "see" the printer at the router.
The router address is (as would be expected) : 192.168.0.1
Which is very similar to the localhost address of 192.168.0.0
I tried the Internet protocol (HTTP) and it seemed like it was going to go but then gave me a login box for the local host?? Like I was supposed to login to the local host to get the printer to work. Very strange!!
I also tried the "Other" setting with just the IP address (HTTP) and it didnt go either.
Anyone have any ideas?? I am clueless at this point
James
