FC5 and Printer Driver Support

Altstatten · #1 8th July 2006, 01:31 AM

FC5 supports my printer---at least it's listed in the list of drivers in the printer setup area. I've set it all up as best as common sense tells me how but still no luck getting a test page to print.

I should tell you that the printer is cabled to a PC; PC is cabled to a router; my laptop with FC5 is cabled to the same router. When I attempt to print I get the following error message:

I [07/Jul/2006:19:21:32 -0500] Adding start banner page "none" to job 3.

Now I realize that it pretty much says, "It ain't working" but what's next?

You have set up the printer as a networked (SMB) printer? First check your firewall settings on both boxes. You need to allow the hosts through the firewall. If no luck, give some more details.
