Setup the Mac for ipp printer and select laserjet 2300 and the print
queue name the same as on the desktop. Still am not able to print from
the Mac. If I look at the print queue, it always says stopped. I can
ping the desktop from the the Mac, so there is a connection. I can also
start the printing of the file in the queue, but to still comes back
stopped.

Would appreciate any of you Mac enthusiasts to let me know how you got
it to work if of course you did, or even if you did not get it to work.

I recently worked through getting two mac laptops printing to a cups server
(>hp2200dn) running on openSUSE 10.2, from a wireless network crossing
subnets.

The first one had osx 10.4.3. The printer add utility, using the ipp settings
worked first try. I had to watch /var/log/cups/error_log on the cups server
and catch the username denial, then add it to /etc/cups/printers.conf using
the AllowUser directive, being that the mac username was different than the
10.2 username. cups restart necessary.
On the fly adjustments can be effected using the lpadmin command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -u allow:foo_user,@bar_group


The second one had osx 10.3.9 and was more stubborn. Using the printer setup
utility, and selecting the ipp route again, the wrong path was sent to the
10.2 server and the queue was not available. The error was:
from: /var/log/cups/access_log
192.168.2.4 - - [27/Jan/2007:14:13:01 -0700] "POST /ipp/printers/Dilbert\
HTTP/1.1" 200 302 Get-Printer-Attributes client-error-not-found
I couldn't get rid of the /ipp part, and it doesn't exist on the 10.2 server.
osx 10.3.9 didn't allow any other suitable choices to select. I finally
realizied osx was using cups, loaded safari > localhost:631, and added the
printer using the http://cups_server:631/printers/printer format and it
worked a treat! Username acknowledgment on the 10.2 cups printers.conf
neccessary again also.
I'll go straight to cups browser-based setup next time.
Watch your access_log and error_log for clues.

Have not had any success getting this to work. I do get the 299
Get-Printer-Attributes client-error-not-found and have tried ipp, lpd,
and http with no success. I do get the following from the yast printer
config after completion, but nothing when trying to connect.

Printer is laserjet 2300 post script. OSX 4.3 allows laserjet 2300 PS,
but cups does not, only laserjet 2000 series and gimp print. This does
not make sense to me. Anyhow, tried what you suggested, but your

http://cups_server:631/printers/printer format

is a little confusing.What do you put in the printers and what in the
printer format? I tried laserjet2300 series which is the name of the
host print queue. Could you please detail the printer and printer format
a little more?
