Hello,
I filed a bug report with Ubuntu on this problem, but they have marked
the problem as needing to be fixed in Debian, if I understand correctly.
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22319
I have writing to the CUPS folks, but not making headway:
19:51:34.556944 IP 192.168.1.10.49568 > 192.168.1.1.9100: S
3771424590:3771424590(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 12027530
0,nop,wscale 2>
19:51:34.557910 IP 192.168.1.1.9100 > 192.168.1.10.49568: R 0:0(0) ack
3771424591 win 0
As you can see, Cups is printing to port 9100, even
though my socket is defined as socket://192.168.1.1:9101
When I load http://localhost:631/printers, the Cups admin page shows
that my socket is defined as: "socket://192.168.1.1:9101". The Cups
admin page also shows the Cups version as "CUPS v1.2svn". Oddly, when
I open gnome-cups-manager 0.31, it shows the port as 9100. I should
point out that is doesn't matter whether I try to print the test page
from the gnome-print-manager or from the CUPS web admin interface.
Both attempts use port 9100.
I am running into this problem on a PC. I have both Fedora Rawhide
and Ubuntu Dapper + all updates. I encounter this same failure on both
distros. I just reproduced the issue with:
cupsys 1.1.99.b1.r492
cupsys-driver-gutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
The driver is listed as "Stylus-Photo-R340---CUPS+Gutenprint-v5.0.0-rc2"
foomatic-db-gutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
ijsgutenprint 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
libgutenprint2 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
The next thing I tried, I removed all the CUPS stuff, built/installed
espgs-7.07.1, gutenprint-5.0.0-rc2, and cups-1.2rc1. Unfortunately,
Ubuntu is configured to disable the root account. I guess they hacked
their own CUPS admin code to work with regular users. I have tried to
set this up, but I continue to get permission denied when trying to
set up printers, etc. Could one of you point me to a slightly modified
cups.conf file that enables me to specify my user account as
permitted to admin the CUPS server? I tried adding my account to
the lpadmin group. It didn't help.
Any idea how I should proceed? Is this a known issue with your
packages or is it Ubuntu-specific. If so, please make a note to this
effect in the bug report I gave the link to and attempt to light a fire
under someone's fanny.
Thanks,
Miles
