Unable to locate printer...
First some background. I installed Zorin 9 OS Core on my Sony VAIO which worked well. It recognized my WIFI connection and the wireless printer network connection without a hitch. Everything works fine.
My Acer Aspire One which has an Intel Atom N270 (1.6 GHz, 1 G RAM) has Zorin 9 OS Lite. It also recognized my home WIFI. However the Netbook does not recognize the wireless printer connection.
I turned on the Sony and found the Device URI for the printer connection and copied it into my Netbook printer configuration. The Netbook still was unable to connect. I rebooted the Netbook and it recognized the connection to the wireless printer and I was able to print a test page. When I went to print something else from the internet, the Netbook could not find the printer. I rebooted again and the Netbook hasn't been able to see the printer since.
I looked at the printer que and checked the Netbook job attributes where I found the following difference between the Sony laptop and the Acer Netbook...
Sony Laptop job attributes
job-printer-state-message:
job-printer-state-reasons: [u'marker-supply-low-warning']
I suppose that means one of my ink tanks is low.
Netbook job attributes
job-printer-state-message: Unable to locate printer
job-printer-state-reasons: [u'none']
none meaning no printer?
All other attributes except the job-uuid were the same. The attributes for the printer-uri was the same.
Anyone got any ideas like get closer to the WIFI connection
Thanks for the help.
