Hi Chris.
I have been able to get CUPS via web interface via the network.
In the cupsd.conf file for location admin (<Location /admin>) changed:
AuthType to None,
Restrict from None and
Allow from All.
Now restart your cupsd.
And from a remote browser use http://ipadress:631/admin
- S u d e e p V
Unless you jump from the frying pan to the fire, all you get is a raw
deal.

Subject: [cups.general] Accessing Cups Web Interface
Hi
I do not have web browser on localhost. How can I access the Cups web
interface via the network? I have had this problem on RedHat and now I
am
on Debian. I have looked through the cupsd.conf file but I do not seem
to
be able to achieve this?
Regards
Chris

The permissions and ownership settings should look like
drwx--x--- 3 root sys
or, if cupsd is configured to run as an ordinary user, "root"
should probably read "lp", and the group "sys" means the system
group all cups administrative tasks must belong to.

It is probably more convenient to install a CUPS server into a
non-standard location.

Be careful when tweaking the makefile(s). For example, the jpeg library
is needed to implement the DCTEncode and DCTDecode filters which are
part of
the PostScript core.

To: cups at easysw.com
Message-ID: <cc15q6$6ea$1 at dns.easysw.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Hi all:
Our office recently purchased a color Xerox Phaser 6250 printer. I
visited the xerox web site, found a set of proprietary linux (!) drivers
for it, and extracted a ppd file from the driver directory tree.
The ppd file identifies itself as a Xerox generic Laser Printer driver.
Using this ppd and the lpd protocol, I am able to print to this printer,
but, no color.
I assume that the ppd file has something to do with this. Can someone
please give me a hint as to what sort of hackery I need perform on the
ppd file in order to enable color printing to this device ?
Thanks a ton !

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Environment:
Suse 8.2
Cups 1.1.18
I have lots of problems printing to a HP Laserjet 4000. Using the
Windows 2000 ppd file I had some documents that produced postscript
errors. So I decided to use foomatic for that printer (with ijs).
Sometimes, documents printed from windows clients cause ghostscript to
take 100% cpu usage and run forever (ESP ghostscript 7.07.1).
Because in that case the printers queue is blocked with those jobs I
want to limit the amount of cpu time for that gs process (started by
foomatic-rip).
My first idea was writing a wrapper script:
#!/bin/bash
ulimit -t 180
exec gs "$@"
Then I changed the FommaticCommandLine in the printers ppd file to point
to the wrapper script.
This worked perfectly good except for one thing: The output is prepended
with the following lines
%%[ ProductName: ESP Ghostscript ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[LastPage]%%
I wonder why this output does not appear if I don't use a wrapper.
Anybody has an idea how to prevent those lines? Output redirection
doesn't help because the lines and the ijs output are both written to
stdout ...

Hi cups-general-group
I'm trying to get an Epson EPL 7500 running. (Gentoo Linux, CUPS 1.1.20)
It's a Postscript Level 1 Printer with Laserjet II emulation.
Using Cups Laserjet 2 Foomatic/laserjet driver everything seems "OK"
(the printout is not centered, parts of the print are outside printable
area...)
Using any one of the Poscript ppd's (Generic Postscript Printer with
Postscript level 1 prefilter or Adobes Original ppd for this Printer
(EPL75523.PPD) or Apple Laserwriter PPD) results in:
DISPLAY -> PROCESSING, yellow (CH P)-LED turns on
DISPLAY -> WAITING, yellow (CH P)-LED on
DISPLAY -> PS READY, no yellow LED
(green ON-LINE-LED is on all the time, Postscript mode on, Paper is
there, ...)
With debugging enabled (at printer-side) the printer prints out some
Postscript-errors:
mostly:
Error: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: --nostringval--
generic without level1-prefilter mostly:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: colorimage
or
OFFENDING COMMAND: recfill
or sometimes "stackunderflow"
...even if I do "gs -sDEVICE=psmono (...)" before,
and I've tried plenty of Documents.
Do I have to change anything else (beside PPDs) to enable CUPS to send
Level 1 Postscript to my Printer?
How can i install a prefilter or postfilter or whatever to do this?
Greetings
Michael
(PS:
this psmono-file i can send to /dev/lp0 directly, then its printet, but
very small in the lower left corner, i think this is a known
gs-psmono-device problem)

I'm trying to print a test page on this printer and everything
looks
like it should be working, except for one thing. I can add a printer and
it will appear to be working without any problems, but when I print a
test page the printer stops and I get this error:
"unable to open print file "/usr/var/spool/cups/d00011-001" - Permission
denied"
I've tried changing the permissions on the file, but that hasn't done
anything. What would be causing this, and how do I fix it? Thanks. :-)

To: cups at easysw.com

I am having a problem printing and am hoping someone can give me some
advice.
I install my Epson printer using the web interface, all goes well and I
am able to print a test page from Cups. I am unable to print from
applications, however. When I do an lpstat I get this
root at dragonslair:~# lpstat
Printer 'Epson1280 at localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or
directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Printer 'Epson1280 at localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or
directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
I am trying to print from the local machine that the printer is
connected to. Cups doesn't appear to be getting the file because I
can't seem to send it to the local machinethere, but I am not running
any firewall and am at a loss as to why.
I am running Slackware 9.1 if that gives any clues.
Thank for any responses
