Administering Printers using Web Browser -- Need Help

krishvij · 05-11-2005, 12:31 AM

Hi,

I have a printer connected to a Linux Box. IP is 192.168.10.99 . I want to administer this printer sitting on another system with an IP of 192.168.10.45 . Whenever I type http://192.168.10.99:631 in my web browser, I get an error message that the connection was refused. When I sit on 192.168.10.99 and then type http://localhost:631, I get the same message. But, if I type http://127.0.0.1:631, I am able to administer my printer locally thru web browser.

How do I set it up in such a way that I can sit on 192.168.10.45 and then, thru the web browser, type http://192.168.10.99:631? Please help

edit your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.

make sure got these lines:
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Listen 192.168.10.99:631
Allow From 192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0

after u made the changes dun forget to restart the service.
