I had same situation you did and here is how I fixed it. When I open up the MCC to share my net connection with the computers on my lan, the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is rewritten so that no one has access to the printer.. not even the root user! So I rewrite it this way:
<Location /> AuthType None Order Deny,Allow Allow From All </Location> <Location /admin> AuthType None Allow From 127.0.0.1 #Allow From All Deny From All Order Deny,Allow </Location> So now only the root user can modify the printer config but everyone can see the config (http://127.0.0.1:631) and access the printer. I didn't figure this out all by myself.. the linuxprinting website help a LOT! ..So I recommand everyone having ANY problem with printing to search there. Here is the forum link: http://www.linuxprinting.org/newsportal/ This is where it came from. http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=5290&highlight= On Thursday 17 October 2002 09:03 am, Brian Parish wrote: > Installed 9.0 on my server last night.
