I am trying to print the CUPS Print Test Page from my laptop on a printer attached to another machine on my home LAN. But whenever I do this CUPS adds the line "AuthInfoRequired username,password" to /etc/cups/printers.conf on my laptop. The result is that the job is rejected; I read in /var/log/cups/error_log on the laptop: -------------------------------- D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] Set job-printer-state-message to "Print file was not accepted (The printer or class is not shared!)!", current level=ERROR D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] WWW-Authenticate="" D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] ATTR: auth-info-required=username,password D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] STATE: none D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] Backend returned status 2 (authentication required) D [01/Aug/2009:03:11:08 +0100] [Job 24] Job held for authentication. -------------------------------- If I try to comment out the line in printers.conf my comment character "# " is removed. I googled for "CUPS auth-info-required=username,password" and it seems that this has been a CUPS problem for some time, although there do not seem any very recent reports. I am running cups-1.4-0.rc1.10.fc11.i586 on both machines, under Fedora-11. Any elucidation of this strange event gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
