Hi everyone, I'm currently running Centos 4 server with apache and mysql. My HP 4250dtn is connected to this server via JetDirect card. IP for HP printer is 192.168.1.100 IP for Centos 4 is 192.168.1.200 My question is how to enable the printer so that user can connect & print via http like http://192.168.1.100/printer I don't know if this is possible, but i'm sure somebody out there can shine some light on this for me. Thanks, JC --

I have not set it up, but CUPS uses the Interner Printing Protocol. So you should be able to add a network printer by pointing to: http://192.168.1.100:631/printers/printername You'll want to do some more searching around for more specific details (as this email is light on details), but I think that will get you headed the right direction to accomplish what you want. /jt
