client-error-not-possible | Help please

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I have been totally unable to troubleshoot this one.

I'm running a Slackware 10.2 jobbie. Running Cups as scheduler.
Printing locally poses no problems.
Printer queue is set up for a HP laserjet 5L.
Device hangs off of /dev/lp0

Now, I want to share the printer on my lan.
The remote client is a Mac, running OS-X.
On the mac I've added a queue, configured it for the HP laserjet 5 printer.

On the Print server, I now create a new printer definition (using the cups web interface, http://127.0.0.1:631/)
This new printer will point to /dev/lp0 as well, but now I'm using "raw" (as the formatting will be done by the mac)

Now, creating a printer is easy peasy using the web interface.
Clicking on modify, allows me to change the description fields and all that. But...
When I click on the "Configure" button, I get the client-error-not-possible error message in the web interface.

Eek....

At this point, it probably won't surprise you when I mention that when I send the printer a job from the mac client, the client gets the same error meessage.

The log file shows:

cupsd.conf:
I had hoped to get by with just:

<Location />
AuthType None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow from @LOCAL # allow from local lan
</Location>

Then added:

<Location /printers/Laser>
## Anonymous access (default)
AuthType None
## Restrict access to local domain
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 192.168.1.0/24

</Location>


I'm stumped.

Please nudge me on a bit :)

Bye,
