[SOLVED] CUPS server client issues

tetonedge · 2008-12-01 04:04:02

I am having trouble with using a cups server setup. In the past I have used the following cupsd.conf on the server and client.conf on the client and the printers automatically show up on the client. But on a new arch set up with both the server and the client using arch and cups this no longer works. Am I mising something? Thanks

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Are the IP Addresses all correct?
Are you running a firewall that could be blocking port 631? (on either the client, server or somewhere in between)?
Can you add the printeres manually and have them work?

I have double checked the ip addresses and they are correct and there is not firewall. The printers also can be added manually and work great.

tetonedge · 2008-12-01 20:18:36

bump, anybody know why they would not show up in the printer list automatically?

fukawi2 · 2008-12-01 21:37:46

If they can be added manually and work fine, then either:
1) The server isn't broadcasting it's availability
2) The client isn't looking for the broadcasts from the server
3) Something along the way is blocking the broadcasts
4) A combination of the above

I'm assuming both computers are on the same physical layer 2 network? (ie, your're using a /24 or 255.255.255.0 network mask)

They are both on the same physical layer 2 network /24. Is there any way to check 2). I know that the server is broadcasting as I have a Mac laptop that is adding the printers automatically, therefore is seeing the broadcasts and they are being sent and are not blocked.

OK, so it's an issue on the client side if other clients are picking them up automatically...

Try adding these lines to the clinet:

Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all

Okay that fixed it, thanks
