re: Item 1
Actually, I take that back - I do not call:
cupsSetEncryption()
in cupsext (the Python extension that communicates with CUPS).
Is it possible that on SUSE that this is required? I am wondering if it is
something like this since we have not seen this defect on any other distro.

Hi, Johannes-
A couple of things come to mind as things to check:
1. Does SUSE require encryption to the server during IPP requests? (the
printer is added with a httpConnectEncrypt() call, but I am unsure if it is
working when encryption is required).
2. Does CUPS on SUSE 10.0-1 require that only root make the
httpConnectEncrypt() call?
3. Does CUPS on SUSE 10.0-1 try to parse the device URI that is being
added? I know that YaST has before rejected our hp: style URIs.
4. Is the PPD file for the added printer pre-existing on the disk, or are
they created by foomatic at runtime? (like Fedora does)
I will begin looking at this in more detail. Maybe you have some answers
to these questions?
Thanks,
Don

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
Get stuff done quickly with pre-integrated technology to make your job easier.
Download IBM WebSphere Application Server v.1.0.1 based on Apache Geronimo
