Print to a Brother HL-1430 via a Linksys print server
On my Linksys WPS11 vers3, printing to a Epson Stylus 820 via parallel port cable, I use the P1 port on the print server (also hard to find in Linksys documentation).
Alternatively, you can also the CUPS webpage utility to setup the printer by typing http://localhost:631 in a web browser on the computer you want to print from. After a security patch in 10.3.x, you will get an endless loop asking for username and password to change printer settings on this web page. To bypass the authentication:
As root, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and change
to
save the file, then run:
and no more asking for username and password on web page. Change the Authtype and Authtype back after you are done editing printers to avoid security issues.
Another tip is to not use spaces in the name of your printer.
