I am trying to get a Brother DCP-7040 printer working as a networked printer. I had it working on this system and moved it to another Linux system to use a as networked print. It works on the "server". SO I set it for shared on te server and now I cannot get the "client" to find it. It doses not find it as a networked printer so I do a manual new printer. I tell it use /usr/share/ppd/DCP7040.ppd as hat file and for network I use ipp
ipp://192.168.1.206/printer/DCP7040
which is the printers name.

However, when I attempt to send a test page I get the error
"Unable to get printer status (Bad Request)"

Whats happening?
