Setting IPP printer with CUPS on RHES 4.0

[Anton Preheim]

Again, thank you!!

I am more of a visual person.  Therefore, it would be helpful to see I the syntax in the /etc/hosts file.  Otherwise, I think I kinda got it, but the test print job does go anywhere, but stuck in the queue that I created.

Regards,

AP
