How to install nework printer / FirewallD??

[hannupuhakka]

I use linux mint.
System: Host hannu-ThinkPad-T60 Kernel 3.0.0-12-generic i686 (32 bit) Desktop N/A Distro Linux Mint 12 Lisa
Tried to install network printer on my wired local network (HP Laserjet 2100). It works well on Windows XP by adress:
http://192.168.5.55/ipp/port1

I used grafical tool System Settings / Printers. Unlock / + / Add new printer / Network. Then I got error:
"FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall."
- nothing which I could understand...
I tried to put the right address on "Adress": http://192.168.5.55/ipp/port1 and click "Search by Address"
But nothing happends?
The printer is working and I can connect the printe by Internet browser.

What to do?

I try to stay out of the Debian side of the forum but .....

"FirewallD is not running. Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client enabled on firewall."

You are using a broken utility so install the right one:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install system-config-printer

And run the command:

Code: Select all

system-config-printer

http://192.168.5.55/ipp/port1

That a curious URL since it's usually done this way:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.5.55:631/printers/PrinterName
