https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217215 ------- Comment #7 from jsmeix@novell.com 2006-11-06 05:48 MST ------- By the way: The ipp/http backend has changed from Suse Linux 10.1 (CUPS 1.1.x) to openSUSE 10.2 (CUPS 1.2.x) and the new version may detect a problem with the data transfer to the printer which might have been ignored by the old version. Why do you use the most complicated protocol (IPP) for only the plain data transfer to the printer? It is well known that many printserver boxes (and network printers) have somewhat problematic implelentations of the IPP protocol (e.g. some IPP functionality may be missing) and then the CUPS ipp/http backend fails to communicate correctly with such a device. It is recommended to use the simple TCP socket data transfer if it is supported by the printserver box. Look for a free port at your printserver box (often it is port 9100) and read your printserver box manual or use "nmap". Alternatively any printserver box should support the LPD protocol. See for example our Suse Linux 10.1 online manual (package suselinux-manual_en): /usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-manual_en/manual/cha.p.html "11.4.2. Network Printers" and "11.7.4. Network Printer Connections" and for some general information have a look at http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/network.html -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
