Re: [Firestarter-user] Network Printer Problem

[Mark L. W. <ma...@al...>]

Hello!

I am a bit confused by your configuration.  Help clarify please:

1) The HP6940 is a stand-alone printer with a network interface at a 
fixed address of 192.168.1.5 - right?

2) The other devices that you want to print from are other PC's or the 
Linux box that you have firestarter running on?

3) Are all of the other devices attempting to print located on the local 
side of the network?  (192.168.1.0/24)

Thanks!

Mark
