(Get the code!)
Dear Ante,
sorry, but there was no way to convince our system administrator to enable browsing on the print-server. :(
(Actually browsing is on - but there is a restrictive firewall which prevents that the computer can actually be browsed.) The print server has once been attacked by evil hackers and the administrator has developed some paranoia. He just refuses any modification/change of the firewall rules and he will not take the firewall down for some minutes. (The server manages printing for ca. 100 Windows computer).
Fortunately he found a way to enable printing for me. He setup a new print-server with cups 1.2.0 (fedora5) for me; and I can print using this sever. (I guess in the long run he will switch to cups 1.2.0 for the whole institute, anyway)
To sum up, this means that I can not test the print-setup with the live cd.
If I can do anything else, please let me know.
