I have been using RedHat systems for print servers for a long time,
but the new cups program is not
working for me.
I am unable to get my new RedHat system to share its printers with
other RedHat systems or with my mac.
The new print server is running 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 with cups
1.3.7-8.el5_3.4
The clients are running 2.4.21-58.ELsmp and Mac OS 10.5.6
I created the print queues on the new print server using the gui
printer configuration. I believe that is system-config-printer.
The server settings have been set to "Share published printers". I
have selinux disabled. I have iptables set to allow connections on
port 631.
The printer I have been testing has the following entry in /etc/
printcap. I have tried the Device URI with and without the :9100 port
on the end.
<Printer gc-hp106ps>
Info HP Laserjet 9000 with postscript driver
Location GeoChem 106
DeviceURI lpd://128.148.124.126:9100
State Idle
StateTime 1241550146
Accepting Yes
Shared Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
OpPolicy default
ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>
cupsd.conf has been edited to contain. I have tried the connections
with the two various "Listen" lines
DefaultShared yes
# Allow remote access
Port 631
#Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Listen *:631
# Share local printers on the local network.

Error messages on the RedHat client:
Network host 'newserver.network.brown.edu' is busy, down, or
unreachable; will retry...
The Mac client reports:
Attempting to connect to server for printer gc-hp106ps
Network host server is busy;
The Mac' s log file contains:

In the /var/log/cups/error_log on the server, I am only getting
messages about
update_cups_browse: Refused 183 bytes from ...
/var/log/messages contains
May 5 16:56:52 geops2 cupsd[2787]: *** WARNING *** The programme
'cupsd' uses the Apple Bonjour compatiblity layer of Avahi.

I understand that this is not a problem. But if it is, how do I fix it.
