CUPS Printer Sharing Problem
I have two Debian boxes each with CUPS installed and each with its own
printer. Each box uses its own printer with no problems. The two are
on a LAN with host names Phoenix and Dragon and can ping each other with
no problems. I am trying to get them to use each other's printers.
I have used lynx localhost:631 to manage the printers and have the
following for Dragon:
Default Destination: ep
ep EPSON Stylus C2 - CUPS+Gimp-Print v4.2.7
Description: ep
Location: Basement
Printer State: Idle, Accepting Jobs
"Ready to Print"
Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0
hp HP DeskJet 930C - Foomatic/hpjis (recommended)
Description: DeskJet 940C
Location: Study
Printer State: Idle, Accepting Jobx
"Unable to get printer status (Client-Error-Forbidden)!"
Device URI: http://Phoenix:631/ipp
and a similar setup for Phoenix with hp as the default printer at
parallel:/dev/lp0.
I assume the problem is setting permissions in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and
started reading and editing this file by adding allow 192.168.2.105
(This is Phoenix's static address) in the location section but this did
not solve the problem. Before I get the configuration file too messed
up I thought I'd post this message in hopes someone knows an easier way
or can warn me if I'm way off track.
