http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi everyone, I tried to install a new printer via the Printer Configuration GUI, but I always got an error message from CUPS saying "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'cups-authorization-canceled'." I did a little bit of research on that but couldn't figure out how to solve the problem (yes, CUPS is running), so I installed the printer via the http://127.0.0.1:631/ and it works fine. Now I would like to change the default printer, but again, the printer configuration tool is just messing around. Everytime I click something, it asks me if I want to save, but it in th (HowTos)

[ubuntu] CUPS Server Error. 3 years 8 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: ''.

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?

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.

Cannot install printers 26 weeks 1 day ago

Anyone have problems installing printers? I cannot install any printer since I get errors about cups.

I installed fedora 11 on this machine about 3 weeks ago. My printer, an HP Photosmart C4200, worked fine out of the box.

But I discover today that I cannot print anything. Not even a test page using CUPS (http://localhost:631/printers/). If I try to print something, it sits in the queue, but does not get printed.
