Hi,

Can you please help me configure CUPS...I need to configure it remotely using a browser...my current machine doesnt have a GUI...but I can use lynx to check if the CUPS is running..meaning I can run this command locally:

lynx http://localhost:631

But I want to access that using a different machine.....can somebody help me configure my cups..I want to open it in a GUI browser which is available in another machine (remotely)....can I do that? Right now, I cannot browse it using the other machine...when typing the location:

10.199.1.1:631

I received an error access denied...

HELP!!!!!

edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and replace your Location / and Location /admin section with something that looks like this.
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
Allow From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Location>

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
Allow From xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Location>
zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz = the cups machine's IP on its primary network interface

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the machine you are trying to access the cups machine from. If you go through a proxy, the proxy's external address.

/sbin/service cups restart

Make sure you dont are not behind a firewall ( a router with port blocking ) or a local iptables/ipchains firewall on the cups machine. Try again. HTT

Thanks...

But it didnt work...any ideas why???

I received an error message from the client machine:

The following error was encountered:

* Access Denied.

Try
telnet 10.199.1.1 631

from the remote machine and see what it says. Sounds to me like a port blocking issue.

Post your cupsd.conf
