https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi all:I got a headache to get the printer work. It is a brother 5250DN printer connected to internet, which have an web interface that can be accessed from ip address directly or hostname. All the windows machine in my office can connect to it with no problem, but under my linux the things does not go very well. I was able to add the printer using the cups admin web page(using the ipp interface), and it recogonize the printer options. However, whenever I am trying to print something, I get a error in the log saying: "[CGI] no socket to connect to". It is able to print things out, bu (HowTos)

[ubuntu] CUPS Server Error. 3 years 9 weeks ago

Hi, I use Ubuntu 9.10 on a lenovo T400. My printing seems to be suddenly broken. I connect to the network printer to print -- Using the printer configuration tool, I can connect to the cups server. However, clicking on Settings leads to the following error:

CUPS Server error There was an error during the CUPS operation: ''.

Hi all,I have a Canon MP600 printer/scanner connected via USB to a small print- and scan-server running Arch (last update was yesterday). The printer is shared over the network and can be accessed from a Windows 7 client. But from time to time after 1-2 prints the printer crashes. I that happens, only a power disconnect can bring it back.

I've added an entry on the CUPS web interface that points to the printer on the server. Now I think the problem is that I don't know how to send my credentials so that I'm authenticated to print.

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?

I have Fedora 17, KDE. I open Printer Configuration and choose New Printer. I a CUPS server error, "There was an error during the CUPS operation: ' cups-authorization-canceled'. The printer is plugged in.

I previously added a Photosmart-C2400 sucessfully.

I've been working on setting up a print server for my home network, it works great! I can print just fine using lpr, and can print from LibreOffice, but cannot print from other KDE applications like Firefox. I went to add a new printer using system-config-printer-kde, but get an error (see attached screenshot for detail) about KCModule not providing an interface.

error dialog:

clicked on printer...selected "remove"

There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'cups-authorization-canceled'.

the printer is not connected...it is back at Office Depot

connected another printer and installed it...it works great...installed itself

NOW THIS is what I expect from Fedora

stay away from HP cheap printers

Just bought a brother $50 print

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"...

I have a network printer (Brother HL-2270DW) and it works great. The problem is that its IP address periodically changes. When that happens, the computers can no longer find it.

It's setup under CUPS as "lpd://192.168.1.104/BINARY_P1". If the address changes to 192.168.1.102, say, I can still print if I go into CUPS and change it.
