    hey folks,

    just bought a cheap SMC printserver/wireless router combination () for
    our home network. I'm trying to figure out how to configure CUPS to
    print to an attached printer (Brother hl-1440). of course the manual
    only talks about windows, so it's not very informative. Some quick
    googling suggests I need to use set a URL like the following in CUPS:

    lpd://192.168.2.1/L1

    where 192.168.2.1 is the router ip, and L1 is the name of a queue or
    something. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work -- the printer
    sork of groans and tries to print, but nothing's actually emitted.
    Has anyone managed to set up some printer to work with some
    printserver -- and do you have any hints? Thanksm uch,

    matt
