- 5. Commenting out line 390 in cupsd.conf thus:
-
- #RunAsUser Yes
-
and changing line 800 from "Allow From 10.1.1.* " to "Allow From
10.1.1.0/24" , followed by
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
rectifies the problem, and the printer successfully prints a test page
both from the local machine at 10.1.1.4 and from the network ( 10.1.1.2
)
-
- I am reporting this as a bug, since the previous configuration including
- the "Allow From 10.1.1.*" and "RunAsUser Yes" functioned perfectly, and,
- in my view, users should not need to trouble-shoot the problem, and
- would often not know where to look to fix it.
-
- Debconf does not ask on installation of the update whether the user
- wishes to modify or keep the previous configuration...
