There may be several entries for your printer if there are serveral port

<P CLASS="western"><B>Network
printer – which connection type is correct?</B></P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>a) Network printer / printer server box</B></P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">For most printers that
have a built-in network interface or that are to the network using a
printer server box the "<B>LPD</B>" or "<B>Socket / Jetdirect</B>"
network protocol can be chosen. Most network printers and printer
servers support several protocols, often also the<B> IPP</B> procotol
is supported. If you don't have information on the network protocols
supported by your printer or server, you can try all three protocols.</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>b) Printer attached to other computer in network</B>
</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">If the printer is
connected to another computer in the network, choose either "Windows
network printer" or "Linux network printer" depending on the computer.
Current Apple computers also support the IPP protocol.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Of course the printer
must be "shared" so that it accepts print jobs from other users in the
network.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<I><B> Note</B></I>: Printers that have been shared for network use from
Linux and Apple servers are automatically visible on other Linux
clients, provided that "printer browsing" is enabled on the server &
client. If you print to such a shared network printer the print job is
processed on the server – this means that TurboPrint's printer status
monitor cannot show a print preview or control print jobs on the
server.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
It often makes sense to set up a print queue also on the client
computer - print jobs are processed locally and print preview is
possible. In this case the server will pass through all print data
directly to the printer port.</P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>c) other printer port on local computer</B></P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">If your printer is not
connected via network but to a local port that is not listed under
"Standard printer", choose "Other (CUPS URI)".</P>

<P CLASS="western"><B>a) Network printer (LPD / Socket / IPP / Windows)</B>
</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Most network printers
accept the "Socket" procotol, so in most cases you can choose this
setting. If the printer doesn't respond, you can also try the "LPD"
protocol.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">To reach a network
printer you need its IP address and the name of the print queue or
printer port.</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western"><B>Server Address</B></P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
In the field „<B>Server</B>“ enter the IP address (e.g.
"192.168.17.23") or symbolic name of the server the printer is
connected to.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
If you don't know the IP address, please read the manual of the printer
or printer server. In most cases the IP address can be changed in the
printer's or server's configuration menu.</P>

<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
In the field "<B>Printer</B>" the name of a print queue on the server
has to be specified. Depending on the protocol different names are
used:</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.8cm; text-indent: -0.5cm">
- With the<B> LPD</B>
<!--SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"-->

the second printer etc.</P>

<!--SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"-->
For<B> IPP</B>
<!--SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"-->
printers enter the name of the print queue on the server – often the
prefix „printers/“ has to be added before the name, e.g.
„printers/myprinter“.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-2-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.8cm; text-indent: -0.5cm">
- For<B> Windows printers</B> the "share name" must be entered (the
share name is specified under Windows when a printer is shared for
network access).</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
The entry "<B>Port</B>" is used for the<B> Socket / Jetdirect</B>
<!--SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"-->
protocol. In most cases the value "9100" is used for the first printer
attached to the server, "9101" for the second printer etc. If you don't
specify a "Port" number, the default value "9100" will be used.</P>

computer belongs to a different workgroup than the printer server.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
Depending on how the printer is shared on the Windows computer you may
have to specify a user name and password.</P>

<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">With this connection
type print data are written into a file instead of being sent to a
printer. This can be used for test purposes or to send printer data
directly to the printer later.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">In the field "Filename"
you have to enter the complete path including the file name, e.g.
"/tmp/printdata". Make sure that the print system (lp daemon) has
access to the specified directory.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<B> Note</B>: Printing to files may have to be enabled in the
configuration file of the CUPS printing system. Edit the file
"/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" and add the line "FileDevice Yes" (or remove the
comment "#" in front of this line if it is already present).</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">

<P CLASS="western"><B>c) other (CUPS URI)</B></P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">With this connection
type the CUPS device address ("URI" - Universal Ressource Identifier )
can be specified directly. This can be used to choose a printer
connection that is not offered in TurboPrint's printer setup dialog.</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">An example for a CUPS
URI is:</P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western" STYLE="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<KBD>ipp://servername/printers/printername</KBD></P>
<P CLASS="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">This would connect to a
printer named "printername" on a server named "servername" using the
"IPP" protocol.</P>

<H5 CLASS="western">Selecting the printer driver</H5>
<P CLASS="western">In the window "<B>Choose driver"</B> you should first

your user password (you must be a user with administrative rights) or
the "root" password.</P>
<P CLASS="western">After entering the password a dialog will offer to
print a test page – thus you can test if all settings are correct. You
can also print the test page later from the TurboPrint printer
"Toolbox".</P>
<P CLASS="western">If you have chosen to print a test page the printer
should start printing a page that looks like this:</P>
