Printing to remote CUPS server?
by Srdjan Todorovic 03 Jun '10

Hi all, Been having problems figuring out how to print to a remote CUPS server. Followed a couple of "tutorials" [1] and spoke to people in #cups but nothing seems to help. Environment: - Fedora Core 6 machine "A" (CUPS server, CUPS 1.4.x) - Fedora Core 6 machine "B" (CUPS client, CUPS 1.2.x) - USB printer ASCII Art: [B]--------[A]-----[Printer] Goal: Enable machine B to print to the Printer, using the CUPS server on A. Guides tell me to run lpstat -t on both A and B to verify that the printers are detected. lpstat -t on A: scheduler is running system default destination: Brother_QL-1050 device for Brother_QL-1050: usb://Brother/QL-1050 Brother_QL-1050 accepting requests since Wed 09 Dec 2009 04:50:22 PM GMT printer Brother_QL-1050 is idle. enabled since Wed 09 Dec 2009 04:50:22 PM GMT lpstat: No printer-uri in request! lpstat -t on B: scheduler is running no system default destination lpstat: No printer-uri in request! Looking at the logs (with debug2 enabled) on machine A, it seems that it never returns sensible values in return to a CUPS-Get-Printers command when requested by machine B. The logs are very long, so I paste-binned them at: http://pastebin.com/Han6qXkv Server (host A) config after web interface was used: http://pastebin.com/g9aqUr4b Client (host B) has lines ServerName and BrowsePoll with the appropriate host names for the server A, and host B can resolve and ping it. When lptstat is run on machine A, the correct output seems to be: D [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdReadClient: 11 1.1 CUPS-Get-Printers 1 d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdProcessIPPRequest(0x80b4b1c0[11]): operation_id = 4002 D [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] CUPS-Get-Printers d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] get_printers(0x80b4b1c0[11], 0) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdFindPolicyOp(p=0x80aed258, op=4002(CUPS-Get-Printers)) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdFindPolicyOp: Found wildcard match... d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdIsAuthorized: con->uri="/", con->best=0x80b35648((null)) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdIsAuthorized: level=CUPSD_AUTH_ANON, type=None, satisfy=CUPSD_AUTH_SATISFY_ALL, num_names=0 d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdIsAuthorized: op=0(unknown-0000) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] cupsdIsAuthorized: auth=CUPSD_AUTH_ALLOW... d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] add_printer_state_reasons(0x80b4b1c0[11], 0x80aed3c8[Brother_QL-1050]) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attrs(to=0x80b2dc90, from=0x80b36208, ra=0x80b2e390, group=0, quickcopy=0) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attribute(0x80b2dc90, 0x80af28e0[printer-name,4,42]) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attribute(0x80b2dc90, 0x80aeeb70[printer-info,4,41]) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attribute(0x80b2dc90, 0x80afa838[job-sheets-default,4,42]) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attrs(to=0x80b2dc90, from=0x80aebe90, ra=0x80b2e390, group=0, quickcopy=0) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attribute(0x80b2dc90, 0x80b36040[printer-make-and-model,4,41]) d [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] copy_attrs(to=0x80b2dc90, from=0x80aebe08, ra=0x80b2e390, group=0, quickcopy=-2147483648) D [03/Jun/2010:08:48:00 +0100] Returning IPP successful-ok for CUPS-Get-Printers (no URI) from localhost I have also used elinks and set the printer sharing option, and allow from Internet is enabled.

Is there a Linux file like Windows' Startup?
by Anthony Anson 02 Jun '10

I want to have a text file appear on firing-up any of the boxen - two running Debian and the other, Xandros. Not sure where to search in / so I'm saving time - with any luck. The idea is to (first, remember to) make a note of future appointments, jaunts, meetings, reminders to do things, etc., so I can ignor^h^h^attend to them and erase jobs done, etc.. -- Tony Anson www.girolle.co.uk/

Anglian Developer Network?
by Paul Grenyer 02 Jun '10

Hi All I'm a software engineer at Validus on Princes Street in Norwich and have been an active member of the ACCU (www.accu.org) for nearly 10 years. While I was working for Lehmans at Canary Wharf I helped set up the London ACCU chapter. It continues to run monthly development related events, which usually take the form or a 60min presentation by a speaker. I think there are about 5 ACCU members in Norwich, which isn't really enough to setup a local chapter, but there are plenty of software companies (validus, virgin money, virgin wines, aviva, etc). So the reason I'm emailing you guys is to see if there's an appetite for doing something similar in Norwich..? Maybe quarterly to begin with. What do you think? How many here are developers? Thanks Paul

Why are lookups so slow?
by Chris Walker 01 Jun '10

My machine is a dual-boot i7 machine running on one side Windows 7 and here, Mandriva 2010 (64 bit). I've complained to my phone provider in the past about things slowing down after a period of a few hours so they changed the router. I now have a Huawei HG520b instead of the D-Link I had previously. I'd done a factory reset on that before swapping it out but then the new router arrived so I stuffed that in its place without testing the reset. With the Huawei, Windows will do lookups fine but Mandriva takes ages for everything, web searches, mail and so on. Sending this message sat there for ages doing a lookup for the smtp address before I cancelled it to add this. I *think* I've got both sides, Windows 7 and Mandriva, setup the same with DHCP for both IP address and DNS servers but is there anything I can try before I rip the Huawei out and put back the D-Link? TIA. -- __ __| |_ __ __ .----------------------------------------------. / _/ _` \ V V / | mailto:cdw_alug@the-walker-household.co.uk | \__\__,_|\_/\_/ |______________________________________________|
