CUPS Issue

[kevinhill]

Hello, I am trying to get a WinXP laptop to print on a local printer on my Kubuntu box. I followed this tutorial and got the laptop to see and add the printer with a few minor changes, but now the laptop will not print. It says "Access denied, unable to connect" Maybe it was something I changed from the tutorial? I didn't want anyone to be able to print, just anyone on my local network (192.168.1.*) Here is the end of my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>

<Location /jobs>
 AuthType None
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny From All
 Allow From 127.0.0.1
 Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>

<Location /printers>
 AuthType None
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny From All
 Allow From 192.168.1.*
</Location>

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

I had to add the allow to <Location /> to get the laptop to see my computer in the printer add wizard, and I added the /jobs allows because I thought maybe that would help, but it didn't. Help me please.

Re: CUPS Issue

Have you tried commenting out the sections to see it works, and adding back in sections to find the offending object/section/line.

Also what do you see in the logs. You will need to goto debug mode to fully see all of the error messages.

That was the approach, that I have used on a console system to identify problems.
