Your server's print queue already has the driver for your printer. So you can send PostScript, PDF, images, or text to it and the CUPS on the server converts your file to the printer's format. If you set up a printer driver also on your client, the printer's native format will be sent into the queue on the server, and this is an unknown format for CUPS and therefore the CUPS on the server refuses to print the job (this is a protection against paper waisting by sending for example an MP3 file to a printer, both accidentally or intendedly).
If system-config-printer identifies an IPP share on a server as a CUPS queue it usually does not ask for manufacturer and model. So I am wondering why it asked you in this case. Note also that I do not have a Mac. So I could test this feature only by setting up IPP queues pointing to Linux CUPS servers. -- Mac-Shared Canon iP4300 printer no longer prints after upgrade to Jaunty 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
