#6715: Network Printing Transport Layer ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: stargatefan | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: | Version: R1/alpha2 Servers/net_server | Keywords: Printing network printer print Resolution: | Has a Patch: 0 Blocked By: | Blocking: Platform: All | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by stargatefan): will be testing tonight, there is a bug in gueten print with margins that stalls guetenprint. will report back with all findings and traces. would it be possiable to write a utility to find the printer and set the IP adress automatically ? I look at new users who are not terriably network or computer savy and I imagine they nmight get fustrated. For instance my printer ip is 192.168.2.2 and it has a page if you goto the adress that displays the printer info. I wonder if we could take advantage of the html code on the printer dialog page to identify printers and have the setup utility select the proper IP adress after scanning the IP blocks say from 192.168.0.0-.254.254 that shoud make it stone simple for the average home user. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6715#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
