I had the "/usr/lib/cups/backend/http failed" error when I used 'http' and I had the 'Unable to get printer status (client-error-forbidden)' error when I used 'ipp' as the protocol.
This all happened after I upgraded to Dapper (printing was working fine before that). I found all my problems went away when I upgraded to cups1.2.1 from cups1.2.0. This is not an official release, so I got it from: http://packages.debian.org/testing/libs/libcupsys2 You need these packages installed in this order. The package manager will complain that there are older versions available in the channel. libcupsys2 libcupsimage2 cupsys This is the path I used to the printer when configuring: http://192.168.x.x:631/ipp Jen -- client 1.2.0 to 1.1.2x server over IPP: network printing regression https://launchpad.net/bugs/42802 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
