network printer static IP

February 15th, 2012 - 02:56 pm ET by Haines Brown | Report spam

I have a HP LJ1320 printer working with Squeeze, but now want another
machine to access the printer via a wireless router (D-Link
DSL-2640B). The directions often assume the person runs a desktop
environment, has access to a network manager or control panel or that
the local printer already has an IP address.

Simply, how do I manually assign a static IP address to my printer?

As far as I am aware lprng does not include IPP support, although it can
be added as a patch.

Thanks for the hint.

This was why I suggested that using SAMBA/CIFS was probably necessary
for sharing lprng printer queues with Windoze hosts.

Which than replaces the modest overhead that comes with CUPS as compared
to other printing system with the significant one of a samba server :-)

parallel cable or a USB (serial) cable to a computer.

Or serial. Dont forget good ol' RS-232. :-)

When in doubt, use brute force.

As a Windows print queue can also set to print to an LPR port, instead of
IPP that is not really an issue either.
