[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#545321: cups: "Reprint job" from web interface generates incorrect link

Sun Sep 6 13:07:35 UTC 2009

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.11-1+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: qjb at debian.org

I have newly reinstalled my system with lenny and upgrade to squeeze,
so it has very little customization.

cupsd is listening on TCP port 631 only for localhost, as intended:

% sudo netstatp -an | grep LISTEN | grep 631
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3594/cupsd
tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN      3594/cupsd
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631             0.0.0.0:*                           3594/cupsd

My host's name is "soup".  /etc/hosts lists it as 127.0.0.1, but this
bug is the same even if I remove that.  DNS gives it an actual IP
address.

Have a printer job that won't print (which you could reproduce by
having the printer turned off, for example) and get the job to a
status of "stopped".  Go to

http://localhost:631/jobs/

See something like this (see attached 1.png)

ID               Name         User   Size  Pages  State     Control
color-laser-6    Test Page    root   17k   2      stopped   Reprint Job ...

On this page, the job number "color-laser-6" includes the link
"color-laser", which points to

http://soup:631/printers/color-laser

It should point to http://localhost:631/printers/color-laser instead.
Since cupsd is not listening on soup port 631, this link fails.

If I click on "Reprint Job", I get a page that says "Job 6
restarted".  The "Job 6" link also points to this:

http://soup:631/printers/color-laser

I'm not sure how to show the configuration of the printer.  I set it
up as socket://color-laser and provided a PPD file.  I haven't done
anything in particular to give "soup" to it.  The printer is a
network-enabled printer with a Jet Direct interface running on port
9100, so configuring it is straightforward.

Please let me know if there is additional information you need to
reproduce this.  I haven't really untangled all the parts of cups, so
there may be something relevant that I'm omitting.  I believe you
can reproduce this easily by just setting up a test printer, type
"generic postscript" on socket://a.b.c.d where a.b.c.d is some IP
address that doesn't have a printer on it or is otherwise
unreachable.  Then print a test page and go to the job list for that
printer.  The job ID link will be incorrect.
