Just ignore the test result and proceed. yast2-printer runs the script /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/test_remote_socket to test this kind of connection which does basically those tests: 1. ping IP 2. netcat IP port If ping (which does ICMP echo) fails, there is an error message (use the [Details] button to get in in the YaST GUI) like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- PING 10.11.12.13 (10.11.12.13) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 10.11.12.13 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms Host 10.11.12.13 unreachable (network issue or firewall active?) --------------------------------------------------------------------- If netcat fails, there is an error message like this: --------------------------------------------------------------------- No connection possible to port 65000 on host 10.10.11.92 (wrong port or firewall active there?) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The connection test is just a basic connection test. To test whether or not the whole print queue (connection plus driver) really works, you have to print a test page. If you run a firewall, the messages already show you why the test may have failed in your particular case. I will not remove the initial ping test because I like to distinguish whether or not the IP is accessible via "ping IP" and afterwards whether or not the particular port on this IP is accessible (via "netcat IP port"). It works as intended and therefore the bug report is invalid. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
