[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#520396: cups: cannot print on ipp printer

[Vladislav Kurz]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny5
Followup-For: Bug #520396

Hello,

I have probably the same problem. Our cups server was recently upgraded
from etch to lenny. It provides access to many networked printers, most
of them are JetDirect (socket 9000) or classic lpd/lpr printers. Only
one of them is accessible via another cups server at remote location. The
remote server is old box with sarge (cups version 1.1.23-10). Since the
upgrade we cannot print on it. This is the relevant part of error_log.
Printer in question is cdma1, A.B.C.4 is client trying to print, A.B.C.2
is the upgraded server.

I was trying to enable sharing of the printer but it didn't work. I
tried it via web interface, or form command line using

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p cdma1 -o printer-is-shared=true

Even it does not print any error it is stil marked as not published (not
shared).  Comparing the logs, it seems that there is no communication
between the two cups servers, at the moment of printing, so access is
denied by the upgraded cups, not the old one with printer phyusically
connected.  There seems to be no such option in the configuration of
old cups.
