A possible solution for incorrect envelope printing
Authored by: cbpowell on Jan 16, '06 01:48:04PM

A 'CUPS server' is synonymous with 'network print server' in this context, and the address of it is most likely the IP address of the machine on your network that is physically attached to the printer with a parallel or USB cable. True, there are contexts where your CUPS server is not physically cabled to the printer, but this is the most likely scenario for many people. Put another way, it is the IP address of whatever machine is "sharing" the printer to others on the network.

Chances are, if you have a CUPS server on your network, you know it, and it is most assuredly not localhost. Your network administrator (if that isn't your role) will be able to give you the correct IP, and once you have that you can proceed with the rest of this hint.

If your printer is physically attached to your Mac, or your printer is attached to an AirPort Express, this hint does not really apply to you.
