Printer on Airport Express

fairmeadow · Post by **fairmeadow** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 10:21 pm

I want to print from Ubuntu to a Canon Pixma IP4200 that is wired in to an Apple Airport Express. The address of the AEX shows as 192.168.0.99, but when this is provided as the remote IPP server name in the printer setup in Turboprint (1.95-2, free edition until it works!) I get the message "Network host '192.168.0.99' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds ...".

Can anyone advise?

Thanks
Bob

First try to do a

ping 192.168.0.99

if you get replies, the ip & network connection should work.

Then try a different network protocols:

Connection = Remote printer
Server = 192.168.0.99
Printer = lp

or

Connection = Socket
Server = 192.168.0.99
Port = 9100

Many thanks for the help.

In fact when I tried the two options neither worked. I then tried Socket with 9101 instead of 9100 and it worked.
