Dear Friends,
I am a long time user of sid.
I frequently have trouble setting up cups properly
again after an upgrade, particularly lately :).
I have a network of computers which all print to a single machine which has the
printer installed on it.
I am currently able to get the computer with the printer itself to print.
However the client computers are not "discovering" the cups printer on the
"server computer".
1) I have gotten the server computer to print. It is located at 192.168.100.18
To get the main computer to print
I simply made sure that
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf had the line
Listen localhost:631
2) Then I tried to make it let others print to it with the lines
in cupsd.conf
# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
BrowseAllow 192.168.100.64
BrowseAllow 192.168.*.*
# Default authentication type, when authentication is required...
DefaultAuthType Basic
# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow 192.168.100.64
Allow 192.168.*.*
</Location>
notice that i tried to specifically allow 192.168.1.64 cause i was worried
about the
192.168.*.* syntax
3) I can then print normally on the server machine at 192.168.100.18.
I then tried to configure the client machines.
For instance I noticed in my latest install of sid on a machine
(after a hard drive failure) left my new machine without a
/etc/cups/client.conf
file, even though cups-client was installed :).
So i created one and then i
added the line
ServerName 192.168.100.18
to clients.conf
Now I dont know what to set in cupsd.conf on this client machine.
I tried to change
Listen localhost:631
to
Listen 192.168.100.18:631
but this did not work - cups would not start.
Also For some time now the kde control panel has not been able to configure the
cups client machine.
Thanks,
Mitchell
