Hi, I’m using Scientific Linux 5, and trying to connect to our IPP printers (or printer server, I’m not sure). The only mechanism provided by this distribution for Gnome printer configuration is system-config-printer. I finally figured out how to specify a default printer (by editing /etc/cups/client.conf to contain one line ServerName my_IPP_servername But how to do this from the Gnome GUI? (My collegue who uses an identical system, but with KDE, says it was effortless for him...but he can't remember what he did.) I talked to the developers of system-config-printer: they say this utility is only for configuration of CUPS servers. I don't have access to our fileserver, and it fails badly and confusedly to do anything useful. I also couldn't get it to connect to the printers directly. I also tried setting up my system to be a CUPS server, and could make CUPS printers that seemed to see our networked printers, but never had any luck actually printing to them (the jobs would just hang in the queue, allthough the printers were all activated...the logs said something about "Unable to connect to printer").
