Hi John,
try to run CUPS as user root instead of user lp. <snip>.
Perhaps an equivalent, more secure, solution would be to add root as a CUPS administrator.
do you mean something like lppasswd -g sys -a root?
You won't need the "-g sys" because user root is already in group root, which is one of the groups CUPS looks for when it authenticates.
Thanks, Darryl, but I'm afraid that made no difference either.
What worries me, having found the access log entries (e.g. "GET /images/navbar.gif HTTP/1.1" 403 0), is that this might be more than just a CUPS issue although this is the first time I've tried to configure CUPS since installing SuSE 10.0.
All assistance welcome
John
navbar.gif should be in /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/images/ and should have the following permissions/ownership: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root
What is the result of the following command (you may need to run as root):
find /usr/share/doc/packages/cups -name navbar* -exec ls -l "{}" \;
It should look something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6024 Mar 19 2005 /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/be/images/navbar.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3927 Mar 19 2005 /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/de/images/navbar.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4321 Mar 19 2005 /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/es/images/navbar.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2429 Mar 19 2005 /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/fr/images/navbar.gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2869 Mar 19 2005 /usr/share/doc/packages/cups/images/navbar.gif
I am beginning to wonder if perhaps a complete reinstallation of cups is in order. Before you go that route, however, try restarting the cups server (definitely run as root):
rccups restart
Thanks again, Darryl, for your suggestion. I have executed the above command line and get the results you suggest, including the permissions. I have also been looking more closely at the cupsd.conf file; I have verified that /location has order deny,allow (it was allow, deny), that AuthType is just Basic and RunAsUser is No. All of this has, so far, opened up access to all the missing graphics and pages. The downside is that I'm currently doing this from my laptop, and, although it did exhibit the same problems I was originally having from my desktop workstation, I won't be completely satisfied until I get back to the desktop tomorrow and check it. Meanwhile, thanks to all who have helped thus far. Now to get some printers configured! John
