Will try the config page and get the address. Is it added with

in Suse .Thanks. Bob

If it is connected to the router's USB port then it will most likely use the
router's IP address on TCP port 9100 (depending on what os runs on the
router). It may need an ipp:// prefix too (i.e.
ipp://<router_ip_address:9100).


If it works in Ubuntu, on the Ubuntu box try browing to localhost:631 and
check out the cups configuration there (i.e. the details of the print queue
that cups is printing to). Then duplicate that via cups on the openSuSE box.
You may need to point it to the ppd file installed by the Xerox software.

I suspect that the Xerox software would recognise it if it was plugged
directly into the USB port on the openSuSE host. Have you tried that? Get it
working that way first (so you know it works), then setup the remote print
queue in cups using the same driver.

Rodney.
