Hi, |
| 2 |
I decided I wanted to sell my Mac Mini as it's turned out to be |
| 3 |
nothing but a glorified print server. (No one uses it including me.) |
| 4 |
Anyway, I'm trying to move my HP printer from the Mac to my Gentoo box |
| 5 |
using the Gentoo Printing Guide: |
| 6 |
|

| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The printer is hooked up and I can print test pages from my local |
| 10 |
machine using the CUPS admin page in Firefox. However, when I open a |
| 11 |
terminal and type lpq I have problems: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
lightning ~ # lpq |
| 14 |
lpq: Unable to contact server! |
| 15 |
lightning ~ # |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
and inside of an app like Open Office I don't see the printer. It just |
| 18 |
says Generic Printer. If I try the Printer Admin app in Gnome it says |
| 19 |
the CUPS server cannot be contacted. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The two changes I've tried in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, as per the guide, are: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
<Location /> |
| 24 |
Order Deny,Allow |
| 25 |
Deny From All |
| 26 |
Allow From 127.0.0.1 |
| 27 |
Allow From 192.68.1.* |
| 28 |
</Location> |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
and this |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
#Port 631 |
| 34 |
Port localhost:631 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
or this |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Port 631 |
| 39 |
#Port localhost:631 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
It seems I must be missing something obvious. I have restarted cupsd |
| 42 |
after each config file change but nothing helps yet. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Where do I look to get info to help fix this up? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Thanks, |
| 47 |
