A recap and progress update so anyone interested can get a quicker picture:
I have browsing on on the Linux box and I can see the Linux printer from
the CUPS interface (even see it in app print dialog) on my Mac. Trying
to print anything though first resulted in my Mac saying it can't can't
resolve the hostname.
(I made changes to cupsd.conf network options (HostNameLookups,
Browsing, BrowseProtocals, BrowseAddress and Allow) on the Linux side)
I added
send host-name "debian1";
to /etc/dhclient.conf on the Linux so it now posts its hostname to the
router.
On my Mac I also added
192.168.2.48 debian1
to /etc/hosts. To make sure such got completely "into" the system I
booted from another volume and cleared the caches on my working volume,
repaired permissions, verified the volume (and even double checked it
with DiskWarrior to make sure I didn't screw anything up). Then I
rebooted to my working volume and rebooted the Linux box.
If I try to print to the shared printer, my Mac still says it can't
resolve the host for printer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've also tried creating a printer on my Mac that points to the Linux
printer (tried http, ipp and lpr) and with Printer Sharing on or off, I
get "host 192.168.2.48 is busy - will try again in 30 seconds." 8-P (I
pointed at xxx://192.168.2.48:631/printers/EpsonSPR300)
I'm not sure where to turn from here - Maybe I'll start the netatalk
"Mac Classic" daemons (atalkd and papd) on the Linux side and try to
print to it with AppleTalk. Something I really don't want to do because
I don't need the Classic daemons otherwise and from everything I've read
I should be able to share the printer with CUPS alone.
I'm increasingly aware of one reason I retired :-)))
Thanks for your interest,
Lee C
