I have a server with two printers connected, set up using the cups Web page and operating properly. Now I want to send print jobs to them from my workstation, which is on the same network, and with the same version of cups: 1.3.9-r1. One of the printers is an HP Deskjet D4260, so I also have hplip version 2.8.6b installed on both machines. I can connect either printer to either machine and print locally without any problems. However, I cannot get anything to print over the network. If, on the workstation, I declare the network laser printer and connect to it, all appears to work until I send a print job to it; the job sits in the lp queue locally, and when I next look at the status of the printer it says "Destination printer does not exist!" If I try to set up the Deskjet as a remote printer in the local cups server, I get "Filter "foomatic-rip" for printer "HP_Deskjet_D4260" not available: No such file or directory". I don't know what to try next. Anyone any idea here? -- Rgds Peter
