Is this really a new issue since CUPS 1.5.x (i.e. it worked with 1.4.6)?
I'm pretty sure I had seen something like that on 11.4 or earlier when I had "print" in /etc/hosts and tried to access it as "print.domain". Adding all aliases of the server, including FQDNs to /etc/hosts made it work IIRC.
All print servers are in DNS with their FQDN, and the error came up on all clients that tried to contact the print servers via FQDN. As soon as they switched to using the short name, everything went well. The DNS translates short name and FQDN to exactly the same address. I learned years earlier that I had to provide several aliases in CUPS. Sometimes, the intranet domain names change, and the addresses do not. So the print servers hat entries in cupsd.conf like ServerName pris5.leipzig.ufz.de (the "real" hostname) ServerAlias 141.65.x.y ServerAlias pris5 ServerAlias pris5.intern.ufz.de ServerAlias pris5.halle.ufz.de and so on. CUPS did not care a dime about this, but the certificate was issued containing all those names, so you could access it with the browser to investigate your print jobs. Before I added all those lines, the certificate was issued for the real hostname only, and every access with another name caused grief ;-) BTW, if DNS could not resolve the FQDN, IMHO I'd never get "Bad request", but "Connection timed out" or "Server not found" :-( Regards, Werner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6yt8YACgkQk33Krq8b42MylACfUe0++9cfY4oo888QoWw81g5Y xNgAnjD3SEz9r+rB4UVmYRYILSHtuwS9 =UwxT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
