[cups.general] strange !! cups printer working but lpstat -h shows [cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided]

[J. Bakshi]

Dear list,

My box is debian lenny; cups version  1.3.8-1+lenny6

I have configured cups server with command line only; no use of
localhost:631.  The printer is running fine. I have assigned port as
49631. I have provided the http interface hence the window clients need
to access http://192.168.1.1:49631/printers/pixma from their
add_on_printer wizard. No problem, printing is OK.

But I have found a strange problem with lpstat. Here are some output
with lpstat

````
debian:~# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: pixma
device for pixma: usb://Canon/iP3000
pixma accepting requests since Fri 16 Oct 2009 05:01:16 PM IST
printer pixma is idle.  enabled since Fri 16 Oct 2009 05:01:16 PM IST
debian:~#
debian:~# lpstat -d
system default destination: pixma
debian:~#
debian:~#
debian:~# lpstat -s
system default destination: pixma
device for pixma: usb://Canon/iP3000
debian:~#
debian:~#
debian:~# lpstat -v
device for pixma: usb://Canon/iP3000
debian:~#
debian:~# lpstat -l
debian:~#
``````

But the error comes with -h

`````
debian:~# lpstat -h 192.168.1.1:49631
lpstat: Forbidden
````````````

The port is ok

````
debian:~# nc -vv -z 192.168.1.1 49631
192.168.1.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
(UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.1] 49631 (?) open
````````````

The log reports

```````````````
D [12/Nov/2009:01:32:34 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data
provided.
D [12/Nov/2009:01:32:34 -0500] cupsdSendError: 8 code=403 (Forbidden)
`````````````````

It really strange !! Could any one kindly enlighten me why the -h fails
with *Forbidden* ?

Thanks
