I recently bought a new printer, and added it to the server (a laptop running Ubuntu 8.04). At first I added it with the Lexmark-supplied install.sh script, but that didn't work so well. But when I used cups to Add Printer, it worked fine. The main client is a Ubuntu 10.04 system, and after I added the new printer (shared via smb) from the printer configuration tool, it too worked.
The only problem was that for every print job from the 10.04 system, I had to supply my password (the job would then print). Today I fixed the problem by going back to the 8.04 system, and via the Cups web interface (localhost:631), I went into Administration, then in the Server section I chose Edit Configuration File. >From there I just changed the <Policy Default> section, the <Limit...> clause, >by deleting *only* the Send-document item, and saved the configuration. From that point on, the 10.04 system did not require me to provide a password when submitting print jobs any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627287 Title: Rewrites /etc/cups/printers.conf every night To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cups/+bug/627287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
