[svlug] Remote printing on Xubuntu

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

When setting up the printer on the remote machine 
under Select Connection it has things like the 
local physical ports and another called 
"AppSocket/HP JetDirect" and then, IPP, which asks 
for hostname and printer name.

Since Rick mention IPP before, I selected this 
option and supplied Xu-400 for host name and 
HP-1022 for the printer name, both of which come 
from my machine, but it still did not connect.

The remote machine describes the Device URI as:

ipp://Xu-400:631/printers/HP-1022

...and my machine lists it as

hp:/usb/HP_Laserjet_1022?serial=FL10340

I'm not sure how to compose the URI on the remote 
machine.

Is there enough information here to do so?
