Tapping into Belkin print server
I tried to tap into Belkin Home Base (model #F5L049au) print server. I want to access a printer hosted by it. I set it up as a CUPs printer with the below specifications:
I attempt to print and get an error:Code:Description: Via Belkin @ 192.168.1.10 Location: Peter's Bedroom Driver: Brother HL-4050CDN BR-Script3 (color, 2-sided printing) Connection: socket://192.168.1.10 Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided
But it definitely is connected and I just printed from a Windows machine elsewhere on the network.Code:'Printer may not be connected'
(Aside: On Windows, the Belkin print server-hosted resources are managed in a dedicated control panel, which obviously is not made to work with Linux.)
If you require other information, tell me what and how to retrieve it and it shall be posted in this space also.
Please help me to access the printer Brother HL-4050CDN via the Belkin print server.
192.168.1.10 appears to be the print server's address, so in my failed attempt to set up the printer above I use IPP protocol.
