I doubt it's a bug; very likely a configuration issue only.

Please check your cups configuration, and configure it in that way that remote people (even the attackers?) are allowed to print to your local attached printers.

No, I don't have enough time to explain the cups system (and the required configuration) to you now. Sorry.

Regards, Klaus.

My cups config is set up to accept connections from hosts on the LAN, the broadcast is seen and the printers are recognised by the other systems on the LAN, e.g: On the remote, fresh install of 10.2 x86_64 and upgraded to 10.3 Alpha3 from factory: barrabas is the local system with the USB printers attached and Boycie is one of the x86_64 systems on the LAN. I even tried explicitly setting up "AllowUser" for printers.conf.

It all used to work when all boxes were at 10.2, then I upgraded the x86 box to 10.3 Alpha with no change in the cups config and the problem arose that the 2 x86_64 boxes are not able to access either of the two printers. I can't find an answer as to why access_log says "successful" and error_log says "Forbidden". cupsd.conf ========== # # "$Id: cupsd.conf.in 5454 2006-04-23 21:46:38Z mike $" # # Sample configuration file for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) # scheduler.

This problem was also seen in Alpha2 factory. Local printing works, remote doesn't from 2 x86_64 10.2 boxes. /var/log/cups/error_log shows on every attempt E [14/Apr/2007:01:56:39 +0100] Get-Printer-Attributes: Forbidden E [14/Apr/2007:01:56:39 +0100] Get-Printer-Attributes: Forbidden E [14/Apr/2007:01:56:46 +0100] Get-Printer-Attributes: Forbidden E [14/Apr/2007:01:56:49 +0100] Get-Printer-Attributes: Forbidden E [14/Apr/2007:01:56:49 +0100] Get-Printer-Attributes: Forbidden

remote lpq says printer is ready, no print is spooled, "lpr filename" simply doesn't print or spool. I set up the remotes to use the local print queue and the printer issues ipp broadcasts. remote access is enabled. At some stage earlier in 10.3 Alpha there wasn't a problem. think cups 1.2.7 (???) was installed when I first had it happen, same at 1.2.10-2. The 10.2 x86_64 boxes are at cups 1.2.7-12.1.

Can cups 1.2.7 print to a server running 1.2.10? I've tried everything.

I have to check bugzilla to see if it has been reported. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ... Hamradio License G3VBV, Licensed Private Pilot Emeritus IBM/Amdahl Mainframes and Sun/Fujitsu Servers Tech Support Specialist, Cricket Coach Microsoft Windows Free Zone - Linux used for all Computing Tasks
