CUPS: Printing to remote printer

807557Nov 4 2006 — edited Nov 6 2006
Hi,
I need help with setting printer using CUPS.

I have laser printer (that supports only PCL) connected to one of LAN computers.
This computer has Fedora Core 5 Linux with CUPS.
Linux and Windows computers are printing to that printer without any problems.
I would like print to that printer from Solaris 10 computer that has CUPS.
I have access to remote printer using:
http://localhost:631/admin
and can watch it's jobs and print test pages.

I downloaded suitable PPD file for the printer and put it to:
/opt/sfw/cups/share/cups/model
and executed command:
/opt/sfw/cups/sbin/lpadmin -p le232 -E -v ipp://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232 -m Lexmark-Optra_E-hpijs.ppd

Now I see this printer on:
http://localhost:631/printers
After I tryed to print a test page, printer status changed:
Description: le232
Location:
Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs.
"Print file was not accepted (client-error-bad-request)!"
Device URI: http://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232

Whats wrong?
What should I do to solve this problem?

Thank you.
