when your setting up cups, theres a box to share the printer, you need to check that, and then once the printer is installed you need to click on administration, and make it default server.showdownmetal wrote:im curious if anyone is using a print server on they're lan with linux and if so could someone help me get CUPS up and running? it would be much appreciated. the print server is a belkin something or another. im not really sure where to begin with this but it shouldnt be too hard to set up. thanks in advance!
then the rest of the pc's on your home network should see that printer and be able to use, you'll have to setup up cups on each of the pc's. Thats off the top of mt head. But should be close.

There are two steps to getting this working.
First, you need to find the correct driver for your HP5510. It will probably be easier to do this if you temporarily connect the printer directly to your Puppy machine and install it as a local printer.
It looks like this printer is supported by the HPIJS driver. You can get it as a PET package. Go to the Setup menu and run the Puppy Package Manager. Click the System button and select the hpijs_2.8.2_static-1 package. Then run the CUPS setup wizard.
Once you have the printer working, transfer it back to the print server. Your Belkin unit probably uses "socket" printing which requires you to know its IP address. Read here.
Run the CUPS setup wizard again.
Under Device, select: AppSocket/JetDirect.
Under Device URI, enter something like: socket://192.168.2.1:9100
Then select your HP printer.
Good luck.
