I haven't used cups for quite a while and haven't been paying attention to cups related posts here but a search on gmane indicates there isn't much going on.
I'm setting up cups to print thru smb on a windows connected printer. Doing the usual http://localhost:631 (with cupsd running) fails completely with a 404. http://localhost:631/help gets a connection to the cups stuff but it looks very baren compared to how I remember it. No color at all bare black and while and all images are missing. The links are still there but in a very baren way. http://localhost:631/admin gets a root login and the tools appear to be there to setup a printer. So I do it to best of my memory including a device URI like: smb://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share It isn't working and the log messages are'nt particularly helpfull. I've set loglevel to debug here is the tail of an attempt to print from user reader. The only thing in it that really appears to be an error is about authentication: `No authentication data provided.' But printers.conf contains this: DeviceURI smb://reader:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/chub-print) Which contains authorization in the sense of a passwd. (x'ed out), After seeing how shabby the :631 pages look I'm wondering what is going on there. And if its effecting printing. But the last log line appears to be saying it was successful. No printing happens though, and yes the printer does work when used from the windows machine it is attached to. -rw-r--r-- 1 root nobody 5921 Sep 10 20:39 access_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 74152 Sep 10 20:39 error_log D [10/Sep/2006:20:48:19 -0500] cupsdReadClient: 5 POST / HTTP/1.1 D [10/Sep/2006:20:48:19 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
