[cups.general] cups-pdf device URI?

[Kai Hendry]

Hi there,

I'm spending a lot of time debugging printing between a bridged
Virtualhost "client" running my OS Webconverger (CUPS 1.5) and my
Archlinux host running CUPS-PDF (CUPS 1.6). If you have any tips for
debugging, please let me know.

Main issue I have, is that I don't know what the "device URI" on my
cups-pdf printer is.

It's shared, so how would my "client" be configured to use this,
without using client.conf?

When I use client.conf, I get a number of strange issues. Like the
printer sometimes not showing up at all.
I can see the printer / device URI from localhost:631 (of the client)
or the printer dialog.
I also run into this "getting printer information failed" issue. I'm
not sure if this is GTK or CUPS issue, but it's very annoying.

Fix is to put the hostname of my machine "x220" in the client's /etc/hosts.


Many thanks,
