Posted: 12 Mar 2011, 16:41
Install cups.
My HP Photosmart is now the network printer for the entire house. I had to create the lpadmin group and add the users to it.
Then I altered some lines in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
from
to
I also had to do some Allow from <ip> to get the network connections to work.
Cups comes with a restriction to only work on localhost so I had to change:
to
Under #Allow remote access
After that the gnome-administration-printers menu found it immediately and picked it as a default printer on every box in the house.
So now everyone has the network printer as their default printer again
