I have a printer directly connected to a Windows machine. When we try test print to it from the cups print server, there's an error message on the Windows machine something like 'cupsadmin invalid username/password'. (The printer is at a remote location that I don't have access to.) Our cups print server is setup with Basic authentication and the cupsadmin account is in the passwd.md5 file. However, I thought that only controlled authentication to the cups print server and would not be related to printing to the remote printer. I did test by removing Basic Authentication and moving the passwd.md5 file out of the way. The error in the cups error.log is:
Remote host did not accept data file (1)
Pertinent details:
cups 1.1.23
SuSE Enterprise Server 10
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
