Stories similar to Installed printer (visible in CUPS) doesn't appear as a choice

I installed a home network printer on my laptop, and could successfully print to it in evince. However, at work I use a remote CUPS server for printing. I added the CUPS server to the print settings of my machine, and the printer from my home network no longer appears there or in other print dialog boxes (such as Chromium).

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?

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

Hello, I've recently installed the newest Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite A505. I have a network printer (Sharp MX-M200D) on a local IP (the IP is 192.168.0.4)...

When I had 32 bit Kubuntu 11.10, I could share the Canon printer on my wife's Vista machine.

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 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.

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.

Hi all. I'd appreciate any help making my printer work. When I print a test page or a text file, nothing is printed. The job appears in the print status list and the stays there forever.
