I'm having trouble printing from a network printer on FC5 (defined as "networked jetdirect" in "Printing menu"). The same configuration worked fine on FC3...When attempting to print I get:

lpr: Error - scheduler not responding

From 'grep Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf':

# You can have multiple Port/Listen lines to listen to more than one
# Listen hostname
# Listen hostname:80
# Listen hostname:631
# Listen 1.2.3.4
# Listen 1.2.3.4:631
# must have at least one Port or Listen line that allows access from the
Listen *:631


...and from the end of the file:

## Restrict access to local domain

Thanks in advance for any help !.

Your question is a bit confusing , "printing from network printer"? you mean to say u have a printer attached to ur fedora system and you are not able to print to the printer from other PCs

By "network printer" I mean that it is not locally connected to my fedora system. I am printing from it remotely. Does that make sense ?.

Sorry for the confusion.

It is a printer with a LPR network printserver built in or attached..

What does your printers.conf look like ? here is mine

For an HP laserjet jetdirect printer, where my config says PORT1 yours would be either raw or text. or auto
raw means the info that is sent to the printer is unchanged before it's printed and is what I normally use for HP Jet directs..
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport...pj02836#N10107



but all of this was easily configured through the cups web interface, I never had to touch the config file at all.. have you tried using the cups web interface to configure your printer ?

http://localhost:631

Here's the printers.conf:

<DefaultPrinter Brown>
DeviceURI socket://10.4.2.3:9100
Location
Info
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
<Printer Woosnam>
DeviceURI socket://10.4.2.1:9100
Location
Info
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>


I can't seem to connect to the CUPS web interface....("Unable to connect" message in Firefox)

Are you sure cups is running ?

ps -aux | grep cupsd

maybe

/etc/init.d/cupsd start

/etc/init.d/cupsd start did the trick. Curious, does CUPS not run automatically from boot ?.

Thanks everyone for your replies !

Apparently yours isnt set to run at boot time you can fix that easily.. hrm Fedora I believe that would be chkconfig..

** googles for chkconfig command partameters.. **

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/chkconfig.8.html
chkconfig --level 345 cupsd on
now cups should start at boot

or you could use the GUI tool for redhat redhat-config-services
