[cups.general] Setting up DCp-7040 as newtwork printer

[Michael Sweet]

tj,

Try enabling debug logging with:

    cupsctl --debug-logging

and then print a job.  There should be enough information to figure out why the job is failing from that (post a snippet of the '[Job N]' messages from the log).

More than likely this printer has a buggy IPP stack - AppSocket would be the recommended fallback protocol - socket://192.168.1.206 in your case.

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
