I have a nice laser printer set up on my router which was installed via CUPS and shared via samba. It works perfectly with my XP and 2k machines, but I am having trouble getting my 4.8 Desktop machine to print to it. I installed the same version of CUPS on the desktop to try to facilitate the setup. Right now, anytime I send a print job (print test page, line print), it connects, then says the printer is busy, will try again in 10 seconds. Looking at the router's log files, it shows a ton of connects from the client, so many that it gives the message of Possible DoS attach from 192.168.0.20. The current max connects per client is 10, so my client must be sending a bunch of connect for a single print job. Any ideas on how to get through this? Note: I am not totally against trying a different way to configure the printer, I just am more familliar with CUPS than with printcap. -Derrick
