[gentoo-user] Remote program - no remote printer
Hi, I had not noticed this before. When I ssh into on of the other machines here at home and run Open Office, when I want to print using CUPS the printer is not defined. However if I walk to that machine, log in using the same user account and do the same thing with the same file then the printer is defined. Is there some config option that could make the printer visible when I'm ssh'ed into the machine? This is out of Samba laziness really. I haven't wanted to deal with using Samba and making the printer visible to the network. If there is some way other than Samba (NFS for instance) to make the printer visible on the network then that would be great. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

OK, in reading through these two secions it seems that these are for making the printer which resides on the machine 'Christmas' visible by other machines primarily on the same subnet. Correct? I'm trying to get it going using an ipp address for the server but so far the printer doesn't budge and the client says the printer is busy. Possibly I have a port blocked ro something like that? The server is an FC2 machine. (The last one in the hosue. If that's the problem it will be Gentoo in a few days!) Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks, Mark The server needs to be listening (Listen and Port directives) and if you're using iptables then you need to allow TCP and UDP on port 631 (it's a good idea to log all dropped packets for debugging). Assuming that's done, check the CUPS logs under /var/log/cups. You can increase verbosity with the LogLevel directive. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
