Hello,

I'm trying to set up a printer using CUPS. I have worked my way
through the printing guide but cannot get a test page to print from
the printers tab of the cups configuration page. I turned up the
logging level to debug2 and am seeing this in the logs:

d [07/Dec/2007:16:00:26 -03-30] cupsdIsAuthorized: auth=AUTH_DENY...
d [07/Dec/2007:16:00:26 -03-30] cupsdReadClient: Unauthorized request for /ipp/...

One thing I noticed in the setup that is different from the guide is
that the option to listen to "Parallel Port #1" is never offered
although it should be the most appropriate option given that the
printer is on lpt1. I have tried both the ipp and lpd devices to no
avail.

dmesg | grep -i print returns:
parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 5L

This is the emerge information:

[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.2.12-r2 USE="X dbus jpeg ldap pam
png ppds ssl tiff -nls -php -samba -slp"

Thanks for any help.

Bingo!.

For the record, I built ppdev and lp as modules, modprobe'd them and
now everything works.

Thanks very much.

Bingo!.


cool. I wasn't sure if it would help, as it was a stab in the dark.
Glad you got it working!

Just FYI, IPP is the Internet Printing Protocol and it is used to print
to a device on another machine, so that's why it didn't work for you here

Yes, I finally tumbled to that (duh!). What confused me was that I
had set up a remote printer using IPP at some point in the past.

Cheers,

I can restart cups by "service cups restart ( stopped) (restart)"
But on Thuderbird and Firefox they both lock up after clicking
the print button,I cannot start localhost to get to cups admin.

Thanks david

Reversing what I have said before now you can get the equivalent of
localhost:631 by running system-config-printer.
or use lpoptions and lpadmin.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't know how to use these commands.

I've done a "rpm -e --nodeps cups" then "yum install cups" and got to
the point where
thunderbird and firefox send a print request to my HP PSC 2110 but is
not printed out.

I still cannot open "localhost 631" 'Unable to connect'.
