Cups server connection - setup as Client-only
Hi all, I am new to Suse and have 9.0 installed. I have a functioning cups server on another pc called localserv1 at 192.168.14.140. If I startup up mozilla to http://localhost:631, the printer is seen. If I startup up Yast2 and to to Printer setup I see that I am set up as client only and the following is reported: CUPS Client-Only Configuration: using server localserv1 I go into "change" and test remote IPP access. This reports back okay. The server's default queue is selected. Now if I go into KDE Control Panel - printers in the lower right corner is Print system currently used: CUPS (Common Unix Print System) Connected to 192.168.14.140:631 If I now go into the Add Printer Wizard, all the Backend Selection options are grayed out allowing me to install NO printer. I also have xpp installed. Does anyone have any idea what is set wrong? I had this working well with RH 9 and via Samba this print server servers several other PCs in the house. Thanks to all for suggestions. Bob

I don't know the solution in YAST but try the following. On the CLIENT machine have a look at /etc/cups/client.conf make sure you have something like the following in it. ServerName 192.168.14.140 See if the above works else you will have to look at the Cups Server. On the SERVER box have a look at /etc/cups/cupsd.conf the file is very well commented. There are some details on http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/faq/cups.html regarding configuring this file. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
