[sf-lug] CUPS printer on Leopard

[Paul Ward]

I didn't mean to imply that you buy an xserve or os x server just to  
see your printer, I meant that I've been able to do network printing  
with standard mac installs with bonjour and on windows with bonjour  
and direct ip connection. When you add a printer via IP, sometimes you  
have to add it like this: IP_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Don't ask me why, network  
printing is voodoo to me.

Does the macbook print even when directly connected to the printer?
After looking at Apple's support pages, it seems like there are some  
conflicts between that printer and Leopard. Some people have had  
issues resolved by installing a new driver. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/search/supportSearchResultView.do?group=&type=&subtype=&model_nm=CLP-300&vType=L&mType=UM&dType=D&menu=download
