Hi, I just emerged cups, and I have problems with it. I must also say that I am not very experienced with CUPS. I emerged cups and gimp-print I chnaged nothing in /etc/cups/ I added my users (root and dittmer) to group "lp" (If I understand the cupsd.conf correctly, this is what I need to do) I can connect to http://localhost:631/ and login. I can chose my printer etc, but when I submit the final selection (of the gimp-print driver) I get the following message: Error: client-error-not-authorized Is this an ebuild bug or can anyone tell me what I have missed. (I already played with the cupsd.conf but had no luck...)
try different drivers ... i got this until i used the correct driver also, try doing this as root (log in as root when it asked for username/pw)
- tried as root, same error. - unmerged gimp-print, selected cups-built in drivers: same error - set passwd for user "lp" and tried cups interface as user "lp": login successful, but... same error! - now unmerged gimp-print , ghostscript, cups -> rm -Rf /etc/cups -> emerge gimp-print (with dependencies gs + cups) -> started cupsd -> trying to add printer both as user "lp" and "root" -> same error - Commented out "AuthType Basic" and "AuthType System" from cupsd.conf -> could add printer!!! and works now... I cant believe! Why? Seems to be an error in the cups webserver for me?! Need to go to bed now, will have a look at it later again...
I now followed the documentation at http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html step by step (configured via lpadmin command line etc) and my printer works now. Next time I better RTFM, although I am still wondering why this client-error happened after just installing cups+gimp-print.
glad to hear it :)
