New Gadzooks they don't make some things easy...
I transferred by Lexmark E234 laser printer from my Opteron machine to the MacMini Server (USB). It was trivial to print to it from the MacMini.

But how to get the G5 running 10.4.11 to print to it? It didn't show up in the browser. Trying to add the printer to the G5 manually via the Samba trick (option click on Add printer and so forth) always failed.

It turns out, you've got to enable sharing of it in CUPS on the Mini first.

http://localhost:631/admin to get to the CUPS interface. If you click "Share printers connected to this system", it doesn't stick. You've got to read this page - http://www.cups.org/...-1.4/sharing.html - then run the "cupsctl --share-printers" command from a terminal (and may need Admin privileges). After running that, the checkmark will stick, and the shared printer will magically show up in 10.4.11.

Clear as mud.

I hope it sticks through reboots... :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

New I've had no problem.
I used the Admin Interface and even enabled remote admin on the port 631 interface.

Its works just fine for me. I've been printing from Linux and other machines without issue the whole time I've had my iMac.

New Physics prof: "As you learned in kindergarten,...
You solve this problem by completing the square, integrating by parts, and applying Gauss's Law using the Green's Function formalism of the Laplace Transform in the particle's k-space coordinate system. I'm disappointed that only one of you got this problem correct."

I'd be disappointed if this weren't easy for you. :-). I'm still learning. I'm very happy that it's been as relatively painless as it has thus far.

Cheers,
Scott.
