Adding printers securely

[Tim Jacobs]

Hi everybody,

I have installed CUPS, and it works very good. There is one puzzling 
issue that I am not able to resolve however:

I can connect through an insecure connection and add printers (i.e. 
through http://hostname:631/ ). This works perfect. I can connect 
through a secure connection and add printers (i.e. through 
https://hostname , using port 443). This also works perfect.

However, both printers seem to be seperated from eachother: people 
connecting insecurely cannot see printers that have been added through 
the secure connection, and people connecting securely cannot see the 
printers added insecurely.

Is there some way around this ? I actually need (insecure) printing to 
127.0.0.1:631, while users need to be able to access their jobs securely 
at https://hostname/jobs. I use CUPS 1.1.20, compiled from source (using 
Gentoo Linux).

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Tim Jacobs
