[cups.general] Printing to a remote cups server

[Todd Charron]

Hello,

 Recently I have begun having problems printing to a remote cups server I have 
set up.  The server is running Debian Woody and Cups version 1.1.14.  I can 
print fine locally (test pages as well as documents) but any remote printing 
fails.  I have tried a Windows 2000 machine (with samba configured on the 
woody box) and more importantly my Debian Sid machine cannot print to it 
(cups version 1.1.20 using remote cups or samba to connect). 

When I attempt to print from the Sid box I get "Print file was not accepted 
(client-error-bad-request)!" From KDE's IPP report and the printer is 
stopped.  On the server side the error.log produces this:

E [14/Jun/2004:16:17:53 -0400] Scheduler shutting down due to SIGTERM.
I [14/Jun/2004:16:17:54 -0400] Listening to 0:631
I [14/Jun/2004:16:17:54 -0400] Configured for up to 100 clients.
I [14/Jun/2004:16:17:54 -0400] LoadPPDs: Read "/etc/cups/ppds.dat", 1056 
PPDs...
I [14/Jun/2004:16:17:55 -0400] LoadPPDs: No new or changed PPDs...
E [14/Jun/2004:16:22:03 -0400] print_job: No file!?!

This is the result of an lp -d epson777 test.txt (a one line text file).  Any 
files printed produce a similar result.

The printer in question is an epson 777 stylus colour using the gimpprint 
driver (CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.0)

I have been able to print from cups on the Sid box to a printer shared on the 
Win2k machine.

Also, the cupsd.conf is set to allow the entire intranet (192.168.0.x) to 
connect to it and I have successfully been able to connect and get to the web 
interface without any permission issues from the Sid machine.

Any thoughts or pointers?  Thanks.

Todd
