I brought this up on #fedora no avail, so here goes ...
I setup my printer for sharing on a Fedora Core 1 machine, I can print from there fine. The firewall is turned off, and the printer is set to be shared to all hosts.
Yet ... over on my Redhat 9 server, the printer is detected, set as default etc, but any attempt to print to it just stalls, and stalls, and stalls. The document sits in the notification area print queue ad infinitum (can i spell a latin word, probably not).
What might be up, i've mucked about with the settings no end and nothing seems to work (including messing around with the cupsd.conf file).
I had the same thing on my Redhat 9 laptop a while back, so its obviously a reocurring issue, that hopefully has a simple solution.
FWIW, I configure my CUPS clients (as opposed to the server) thusly:
In /etc/cups/client.conf: ServerName print-server.your.domain.here
I then turn OFF cupsd on the client completely: # service cups stop # chkconfig cups off
My server's cupsd.conf is almost entirely stock. It pretty much just has: Servername print-server.your.domain.here ServerAdmin root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 10.0.0.0/16 </Location>
Try running 'tcpdump host redhat9 and port ipp' on the print server to see if the client is actually contacting the server properly.
