Printing via network (localhost)

[danbar]

I'm trying to print via a localhost. I did connect with the printer and it is being recognized. The printer is getting my message because my laptop says so and the printer gives a beep (error). Unfortunately I'm not the administrator of the printer. There is the job accounting where each person has a unique code. In windows, a window comes up, where one inputs his personal code and presses ok, then prints. Is there a solution for Linux Mint?

Which is your Mint version?

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

will give all the required details. In System settings--Printers, you can set up printer. The printer model and make has to be defined properly too.

Thanks for your time and patience.

I will give you an answer next Monday as I'm out of office at the moment.

is there anything here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netwo ... WithUbuntu that relates to you? Do any of the diagrams and flows at the top apply to your situation?

and Ubuntu (and Fedora) have very similar troubleshooting printing issues wikis https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrinti ... rk_printer

Thanks for your time. I followed the first link in a scrupulous manner. Still same answer. The printer starts to bleep but no paper is printed.
