Cups printers work in SeaMonkey but in Abiword and Gnumeric when I click on print I get the pdq print screen that has no printers listed that I set up in Cups. What am I missing.
Thanks

Cups printers
Hi. Didn't think it was worthwhile to start a new thread for a problem that hopefully has a simple answer.
I have an hp photosmart c3100 printer connected via usb to my upstairs pc with Puppy Linux 2.42 and CUPS 1.4.3. The printer shows up in CUPS as HP_Photosmart_C3100_series (Idle, accepting jobs, Shared). I can see and print to it just fine from that pc.
Downstairs I have a compaq laptop with Puppy 2.6.33.2 (5.2.0 Lucid) which also has CUPS 1.4.3. I can see the upstairs printer if I click on the "Manage Printers" tab from the Administration tab. But if I try to get further info by clicking on the printer itself, I get the following error:
"Error - http://192.168.1.103:631/printers/HP_Ph ... 100_series
The page 'http://192.168.1.103:631/printers/HP_Ph ... 100_series' couldn't be loaded.
Cannot connect to destination"
Also on the Printers tab in CUPS the printer is listed as "Location Unknown" (on the pc upstairs that field is blank). If I try to print from an app like PDF Viewer, the printer is listed, and I get no error message if I hit print. But when I check the Jobs tab in CUPS it shows that job as "processing since..." and never completes. If I check the Jobs queue on the upstairs pc, that job doesn't show up at all.
Any advice you can provide to help me with this issue would be kindly appreciated, as my quads are getting overdeveloped from running up and down the stairs!

It is not very well accepted to hijack the thread of another problem. You have another issue, so it is better to start a new thread.Valinote wrote:Hi. Didn't think it was worthwhile to start a new thread for a problem that hopefully has a simple answer.
