No. The firewire connection /is/ ethernet. It will show up e.g. as eth1 (if you already have an eth0). As such, the printer is a remote host with a separate name and IP address. Your printer does not appear to be this type, so this doesn't apply to you. > How do I find the "queuename"? > > This printer is NOT listed here: > > <http://www.pwg.org/ipp/IPP-Products.html#embedded> > > Does this mean that it does NOT support ipp?

If you now choose "add printer" (using the web interface), choose scsi as the backend, and it should find the printer. If it doesn't, let us know what happens when you do this. The device uri is scsi://<something>, where I guess <something> is the SCSI device node, /dev/s.... Regards, Roger -- .''`.
