I do not have a solution to your problem but I would suggest to point a browser to 127.0.0.1:631 and configure CUPS from that. You will inteact directly with CUPS and it is better for debugging. Now can you see your printer from there?
Running "OpenSuSE 11.4" with "cups-client-1.4.6-6.1.i586" installed, I try to use one single CUPS-server to do all my printing jobs / to manage my queues.
In YaST -> printer I've selected
[x] Do All Printing Directly via One Single CUPS Server
and next to the field "name or IP Address" I enter print (as a CNAME for our print server), but no queue comes up in main window.
We have several Windows 2003 servers with print services for Unix on them, and which allow Linux machines running CUPS to use printers defined to CUPS with the URI lpd://printer_server/printer_queue_name - they work.
An attempt to provide different printers on a different Windows 2003 server with print services for Unix newly enabled causes CUPS to behave like this: a newly defined printer will b
I have Ubuntu Server running on a computer in the back room and a Mac as a client in the living room. Everything is working fine between the two. I can print, share files, everything that you would expect. Recently, I tried to set up CUPS and Avahi so that I can print from my iPad. To do this I have had to create another printer, which I called Airprint.
the other day i set up a cups server, i have the printer going, drivers installed. i can print find from the ubuntu machine itself, but i want to be able to print from my laptop, running windows 7. how do i do that? and, if possible i dont want instructions to be as specific as possible. thanks!
I have setup cups on Ubuntu 12.04 machine as a Server. And have setups cups on another Ubuntu(12.04) and Solaris (sparc AMD i386) machines as clients.
Cups is up and running on server as well as on the clients. But, none of the print requests sent from either Ubuntu clients or Solaris clients are being received by Cups Server.
Hello all,
a recent upgrade broke something in CUPS. For the last few months I on one of my systems I can print only ONCE.
I am trying to print (over Wi-Fi) to an HP Photosmart D110 printer (which is successfully recognized by CUPS). But I only get a sheet with the error message Unable to open the initial device, quitting. And in the CUPS interface it says Filter failed.
At home I have an HP Photosmart C3100 that works correctly over USB, so I think CUPS is not the problem.
Hi Everyone,I have a huge problem and I have problems to solve it :S...I've been used to install cups and hplip for my printer, then start cups (rc.d start cups) and go to the cups page at localhost, add printer.... But today, when I tried to print a file he fails saying ""/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"...
