cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided- error_log

Thanks Johannes for your reply.

I assumed that since I had removed the printer redirection from the 10.201.133.159 host (ion) and had removed all the CUPS jobs on that host and even stopped the CUPS service on that host that nothing should be trying to talk to the CUPS print server (coffee) which was logging the connection messages.

Running lsof -i -P and grepping for the name of the CUPS print host showed several processes which were print jobs still attempting to transfer from one CUPS host to the print server CUPS host.

# lsof -i -P | grep coffee
ipp        1644    root    6u  IPv4 422714006       TCP ion.wpl.com:19788->coffee.wpl.com:631 (CLOSE_WAIT)
ipp        2342    root    6u  IPv4 422714468       TCP ion.wpl.com:19792->coffee.wpl.com:631 (ESTABLISHED)
ipp       22221    root    6u  IPv4 422714292       TCP ion.wpl.com:19791->coffee.wpl.com:631 (ESTABLISHED)
ipp       24687    root    6u  IPv4 422714075       TCP ion.wpl.com:19789->coffee.wpl.com:631 (ESTABLISHED)
ipp       30196    root    6u  IPv4 422714258       TCP ion.wpl.com:19790->coffee.wpl.com:631 (ESTABLISHED)
ipp       32665    root    6u  IPv4 422713668       TCP ion.wpl.com:19787->coffee.wpl.com:631 (CLOSE_WAIT)

# ps -ef | grep 1644
root      1644     1  0 Feb07 ?        00:00:02 ipp://coffee.wpl.com:631/printers/JANDDC-IRC3080-1 112 a04566 1628.ps 1 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=1 job-uuid=urn:uuid:d0b67483-cd13-304c-65b9-64c3c6d3a85c job-sheets=none,none lease-duration=300 /var/spool/cups/d00112-001

I had cleared (or thought I did) all the jobs inthe /var/spool/cups subdirectory on ion but the processes were still there. I killed those processes off and the connection messages stopped.

So thanks again for your help.
