Printing from laptop worked fine under previous config (Redhat 7.3 was on previously on server, and printing was via lpd), but I cannot get printing to work from laptop now.
Cups is installed on server and printer works fine when printing from server.
Printer has been configured on laptop every possible way, but will not print. Have read google posts, howtos, and cups docs for 2 days, but nothing works.
nmap shows port 631 on server, but DOES NOT show it on laptop. Firewalls are completely off on both laptop and server.
Can you telnet from the laptop to port 631 of the server? Do you have cups installed on the laptop? Can the laptop tell you the status of the server print queue (run lpq -P<printqueuename> on the laptop)? Are you seeing any error messages on the server in /var/log/messages or /var/log/cupsd/errorlog?
No I cannot telnet to port 631 - here is result of my attempt:
[bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ telnet NEC:631 NEC:631: Unknown host [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$
Yes, I have cups installed on both laptop and server. I can restart on both systems via /sbin/service restart cups. I can manage the cups app in both systems via the web interface - http://localhost:631
No I cannot tell the status. In an earlier post, I mentioned that I have 2 queues defined now on the server (HP841C and HP841C_SHARED), and I have one on the laptop (HP841C_LOCAL). Here is the result of the lpq command on each: [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C Printer: HP841C@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C_LOCAL Printer: hp841c_local@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c_local' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C_SHARED Printer: HP841C_SHARED@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c_shared' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$
Obviously, I have something messed up. Any suggestions where else to look? Your advise and expertise and greatly appreciated. I'm always amazed at the quick responses I get from these newsgroups.
