problems with CUPS
hi there,
i'm having a few programs with CUPS there just small one and i'm sure there's an easy fix. i want to be able to access my cups web interface from another computer on my network but when i type in http://192.168.1.172:631 i can't get to it ... although when i'm on my fedora box i can type http://localhost:631 and i can access it ... also how do you set a default printer via the CUPS web interface |
This might answer your question. If not, get what you can from it, and post the results.
http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/...k_Printing.pdf good luck. |
Go to http://localhost:631/ and click Do Administrative Tasks and enter your root information (i.e. root, root password), and under printers, click add printer. I didnt install my printer this way, so I can't help you any farther, Mandrake installed my printer for me (mandrake install is easier than windoze!).

A) Is the apache service running on your computer at http: //192.168.1.172:631.
B) Is the firewall allowing this port. C) Does cups.conf allow the access? Quote:

this is the cups.conf file found int he /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ directory
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!-- Only root can send this message --> <policy user="root"> <allow send="com.redhat.PrinterSpooler.QueueChanged"/> </policy> <!-- Allow any connection to receive the message --> <policy context="default"> <allow receive="com.redhat.PrinterSpooler.QueueChanged"/> </policy> </busconfig> ~ |
actually in My System it's cupsd.conf.
In slackware 10 it's under /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and its looks like this: Code:
