I am having problems printing to the printer connected to my (SBS2003) business's network.

I know the IP of the printer and I can ping it and even print files from it by going to 192.168.0.50 in firefox and uploading a file.

If I do an nmap on the IP of the printer I get this:

jamesmaddison@development:~$ nmap 192.168.0.50

Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-07-11 16:12 BST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.50
Host is up (0.46s latency).

5900/tcp  open  vnc
9100/tcp  open  jetdirect
50001/tcp open  unknown

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.55 seconds

I can't get my local cups server to print to it no matter what protocol I use. I am in the business workgroup and the printer even lists my computer in the workgroup.

The Printer is a Sharp MX-M314N. All Windows computers on the network can print to it fine, just my ubuntu machine that won't.

Here's what the CUPS error log says for the last job I tried.

E [11/Jul/2013:16:21:28 +0100] [cups-polld MASTERMAGNETS:631] Unable to connect to MASTERMAGNETS on port 631.

Here's what nmap reports when I run it on the SBS

jamesmaddison@development:~$ nmap mastermagnets

You are trying to print to your Windows server (192.168.0.2). Just print to the network printer(192.168.0.50) directly.

  • CUPS is setup to print to socket://192.168.0.50:9100 though.
