I recently worked through getting two mac laptops printing to a cups server (>hp2200dn) running on openSUSE 10.2, from a wireless network crossing subnets. The first one had osx 10.4.3. The printer add utility, using the ipp settings worked first try. I had to watch /var/log/cups/error_log on the cups server and catch the username denial, then add it to /etc/cups/printers.conf using the AllowUser directive, being that the mac username was different than the 10.2 username. cups restart necessary. On the fly adjustments can be effected using the lpadmin command: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -u allow:foo_user,@bar_group The second one had osx 10.3.9 and was more stubborn. Using the printer setup utility, and selecting the ipp route again, the wrong path was sent to the 10.2 server and the queue was not available. The error was: from: /var/log/cups/access_log 192.168.2.4 - - [27/Jan/2007:14:13:01 -0700] "POST /ipp/printers/Dilbert\ HTTP/1.1" 200 302 Get-Printer-Attributes client-error-not-found I couldn't get rid of the /ipp part, and it doesn't exist on the 10.2 server. osx 10.3.9 didn't allow any other suitable choices to select. I finally realizied osx was using cups, loaded safari > localhost:631, and added the printer using the http://cups_server:631/printers/printer format and it worked a treat! Username acknowledgment on the 10.2 cups printers.conf neccessary again also. I'll go straight to cups browser-based setup next time. Watch your access_log and error_log for clues.
