Not a CUPS expert by any means, but this sounds like a flaky/incorrect printer driver to me.
What printer and CUPS driver are you using ?
Hi, The posts on this arrived after I left work yesterday, but I had another go last night and got it working. I think what *may* have happened is that because I'd been initially faffing about with various drivers/ports/settings the parallel port had got into an unhappy state. So when I then thought it should work as I'd got the settings correct (Epson Stylus C70, driver something like cups-2.4-gimp-something, /dev/lp0) it still kept spitting out nonsense. In the end a reboot cured it and it printed me a glorious test page. I then spent a while trying to print to it from a second linux box; I could see the request was getting through to the server by watching the output to the logfiles, but it seemed unhappy with "get_printer_attr" - "no good!" type errors. It'll be something silly somewhere. Thanks, Jenny
Hi Jenny Is the second machine listed in your /etc/exports.allow ? Regards, Paul. On Tuesday 02 December 2003 9:39 am, Jenny Hopkins wrote:

I thought that was only used for NFS? I think LPRng used hosts.lpd, but I don't know what CUPS uses. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

Me too. Cups is configured in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on here, for network (IPP) connections you need to change the allowed machines, works very much in the same way as apache's set up as far as I can see. Hope that gives a starting point. Cheers, Brett.
