I'm trying to print to a remote cups server. The setup should be correct already with one issue left. The printer is always broadcasted with the hostname instead of the ip address of the print server. This hostname cannot get resolved in this network (I know it's bad but no way to change that). All documentation I've found says that I need to set "ServerName" in cupsd.conf to the ip address. But this doesn't work. It's still broadcasting the hostname as part of the printer uri.
This is openSUSE 11.3 with cups 1.4.4.
After stopping cupsd and running # netcat -l -u -p 631 I got packages from some servers with the IP in the URI but form other servers I got packages with the hostname. Therefore it seems it really depends on the server (and not on the client who may also convert an IP to the hostname). But I don't know how to configure this on the server. Therefore you may ask on the cups.general Newsgroup at http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php or on its matching mailing list <cups@easysw.com> Alternatively you may not use the usual Browsing but BrowsePoll to let the client actively query the CUPS server, see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/ref-cupsd-conf.html Since openSUSE 11.3 you can set up BrowsePoll via the YaST printer module, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433047#c12 You may also have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
