Hi, I decided I wanted to sell my Mac Mini as it's turned out to be nothing but a glorified print server. (No one uses it including me.) Anyway, I'm trying to move my HP printer from the Mac to my Gentoo box using the Gentoo Printing Guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml The printer is hooked up and I can print test pages from my local machine using the CUPS admin page in Firefox. However, when I open a terminal and type lpq I have problems: lightning ~ # lpq lpq: Unable to contact server! lightning ~ # and inside of an app like Open Office I don't see the printer. It just says Generic Printer. If I try the Printer Admin app in Gnome it says the CUPS server cannot be contacted. The two changes I've tried in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, as per the guide, are: <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.68.1.* </Location> and this #Port 631 Port localhost:631 or this Port 631 #Port localhost:631 It seems I must be missing something obvious. I have restarted cupsd after each config file change but nothing helps yet. Where do I look to get info to help fix this up? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
