Printing problems with FC6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a recently updated/freshly installed fedora core 6 workstation
with an attached printer.  I'm trying to set it up so that other
computers can print to the attached printer.

I cannot find anywhere in the "system-config-printer" program that says
"allow printing from network".

I had to edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and add a "Listen hostname:631" and
an "Allow mynetwork" line there.

After I added them, the two lines mysteriously disappeared.  We tried
reproducing the program by starting system-config-printer again, making
changes, restarting cups, etc... the changes stayed.  I'm thinking
whatever overwrote my cupsd.conf is waiting for me to be out of the
building to break it again.

Is there a proper "fedora-way" to tell cups to allow for network
printing?
Is there a reason why my changes to cupsd.conf are getting replaced?

Thanks!!
