Bug 9601 – Can't configure cups

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2002-10-24 05:53:36 UTC]

When I follow the guidlines in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/printing-howto.html
(but without the gnome-thing, blackbox rules :-) I can't configure cups.
I use the interactive thing (http://localhost:631) and choose "Add Printer",
then I type ind the name of the printer (and yes... I use the correct name),
then I choose Parallel Port #1 (because my HP Laserjet 4 Plus is connected to
/dev/lp0), next I choose HP as Make. Next I have to choose the model, and there
are numerous choosies, and I choose "HP Laserjet 4 series, CUPS+GIMP-print 4.3.0
(en)".
Here the troubles begin, when I presse the Continue button I get the following
error: "Error: client-error-not-authorized"

client-error-not-authorized == wrong driver

I think it's an honest-to-goodness bug.  According to the cups mailing
list the problem is fixed in the cups cvs.

I just installed the CVS version, and the "client-error-not-authorized" 
message has gone away.  Unfortunately, I do not know what the actual
problem w/ 1.1.16 is, which makes it darn hard to fix it.

I put a masked version of today's cvs version of cups into portage.
I believe the tarball I uploaded should arrive on ibiblio by 4pm EDT.
