Hi

I have a CUPS environment with multiple servers.  Can someone tell the
command I can use to get a list of the server names and their queues.  I can
see the different servers in the Web interface but need a list of
servers/queues in a terminal window so the info can be used in another
application we are working on.

Helge,

I didn't request anything explicitly while printing. I want to do a
simple thing: Print a firefox page in landscape format. So I made a
landscape page setup in firefox. I did not change anything in the
printing dialog, but the preview already shows a landscape page. I
cannot find any possibility to change the printing format to portrait.
The "orientation-requested"-option seems to be sent by the printing dialog.
Doing the same thing with linux works as expected.

Hi,

http_t data structure is now private.

1. How can one create object of this structure ?
2. In CUPS api, very few functions are there to set/get member fo this
structure. What is the right way to access member of this structure ?

Regards,
Mangesh

Hi
After installing cups I get a password authentication failure trying to log 
into to http://localhost:631 on freebsd 7.2 p3 amd 64.

trying to log on as 'root' with correct root password.

I am trying to set up cups to print from
an hp laserjet 2200dn equipped with a built in 10/100 jetdirect 610N. The 
printer is also used by a number of MS$ systems on the same subnet as the 
server so I know the printer is working and configured to print both text
and 
graphics and to use the double sided facility. I need to use similar 
facilities from the server.

On the windows XP systems the printer is identified by a port entry in the 
form "[my_device].[my_domain].[my_tld]:HP LaserJet 2200" in the printer 
properties. The HP JetDirect Configuration report includes the following
info:
_______________________________
Model Number: J4169A
Firmware Version: L.20.24

Under TCP/IP we have:
Hostname: [mydevice]
Domain Name: [my_domain].[my_tld]
# The following all show correct entries:
Ip Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
__________________________________
End of jetDirect config info:
____________________________________

Despite reading the documentation I seem to be having difficulty setting up 
the printer running with cups although it works fine on the network from the

MS$ machines. So far I have not been able to get the beast to 
print.
