Subject: [gentoo-user] cups at 631 looking baren and incomplete also fails
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 02:04:17
Message-Id: 87r6yjb1xx.fsf@newsguy.com
1 I haven't used cups for quite a while and haven't been paying
2 attention to cups related posts here but a search on gmane indicates
3 there isn't much going on.
4
5 I'm setting up cups to print thru smb on a windows connected printer.
6 Doing the usual http://localhost:631 (with cupsd running) fails
7 completely with a 404.
8
9 http://localhost:631/help gets a connection to the cups stuff but it
10 looks very baren compared to how I remember it. No color at all bare
11 black and while and all images are missing.
12
13 The links are still there but in a very baren way.
14
15 http://localhost:631/admin gets a root login and the tools appear to
16 be there to setup a printer.
17
18 So I do it to best of my memory including a device URI like:
19
20 smb://user:passwd@host/share
21
22 It isn't working and the log messages are'nt particularly helpfull.
23 I've set loglevel to debug here is the tail of an attempt to print
24 from user reader. The only thing in it that really appears to be an
25 error is about authentication: `No authentication data provided.'
26
27 But printers.conf contains this:
28 DeviceURI smb://reader:xxxxxxxxx@chub/chub-print)
29
30 Which contains authorization in the sense of a passwd. (x'ed out),
31
32 After seeing how shabby the :631 pages look I'm wondering what is
33 going on there. And if its effecting printing. But the last log line
34 appears to be saying it was successful.
35
36 No printing happens though, and yes the printer does work when used
37 from the windows machine it is attached to.
