To: Mirror of cups.general Newsgroup <cups@easysw.com> Subject: Re: [cups.general] Java printing with CUPS .. I have now checked the Sun website and found bug reports that are of interest to CUPS users: see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/index.jsp Bug 5109523 states that printing is OK with Sun java 1.4.2 but that the 1.5.0 PrintService does not return any printers (as I found myself). One workaround is explained by (my quotes) "I found that I could get a list of printers if I specify (or default to) AuthType None in cupsd.conf, but when I specify AuthType BasicDigest, I get no printers. I am referring here to the AuthType in <Location /> (i.e. the root cups Location).....However, this problem did not occur using 1.4.2 for some reason..... .. Other comments (see also bug 5087907) suggest a problem of interpretation of IPv4 and IPv6 format addresses, and this was said to have been fixed. At this point, I was left with the option of using the old Sun java 1.4.2 (thus being deprived of changes in more recent versions). My solution was to switch from Sun to the IBM j2SE v 5.0 (their most recent version). With this, printer discovery works and there are no problems printing from any Java apps. .. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have no AuthType for <Location /> in our default cupsd.conf (neither for Suse Linux nor for openSUSE) which is equivalent to "AuthType None". -- 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.
