Hello everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
According to the Gentoo Printing Guide -> Installing |
| 4 |
the Printer, I'm to go to http://localhost:631 and |
| 5 |
then click on "Administration". Well, there's "Do |
| 6 |
Administrative Tasks", so I clicked on that. The guide |
| 7 |
says to "enter root login and password" into the box |
| 8 |
but the box only asks for username. Whatever, I tried |
| 9 |
them both. All that happens is that the a new blank |
| 10 |
box opens and asks me to enter the info again and so |
| 11 |
on and so on. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Yes, cups is emerged and cupsd is started. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Anybody else encountered this? |
| 16 |

An attempt at printing returned this error to the log: |

The server name I just made up cause the Gentoo |
| 39 |
install docs suggested I have one. Do I actually have |
| 40 |
to call it "localhost" in order for printing to work?! |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
According to cupsd.conf HostNameLookups defaults to |
| 43 |
'off'. |

| 45 |
Am I a victim of anti-dialup discrimination? :-( Oh, |
| 46 |
the humanity! |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
And can somebody explain the need to use http to set |
| 49 |
up a printer on one's own computer? Afterall PC |
| 50 |
*does* mean personal computer. I'm assuming that |
| 51 |
localhost:631 is on my own machine. But even so it |
| 52 |
seems a bit much. |
