Okay. I've looked hi and lo for an answer to this and I'm not coming up
with anything useful.
I have two machines on the same network (192.168.0.x). One is an x86
running 4.9-STABLE and CUPS 1.1.19. The other is a PowerBook G4 running
Mac OS X 10.3.2 (Panther). The x86 machine has an HP laser printer
attached to it via parallel.
When on the fbsd machine, I can print files locally just fine. Under
Mac OS X I can print to file as Postscript or PDF, put the file on the
fbsd machine and print it locally just fine. So, it appears the PS/PDF
data coming from OS X is not a problem. However, when I try to print
from Mac OS X to the x86 box using IPP...nothing.
I was getting a "Destination printer does not exist!" in the error log.
I believe I've turned on browsing locally (BTW, I appear to be
receiving CUPS' broadcast packets). I've tried configuring IPP printing
on the PowerBook using both the Printer Setup Utility and
http://localhost:631/. No go.
Here's my cupsd.conf:
ServerName 127.0.0.1

RequestRoot /usr/local/var/spool/cups
ConfigFilePerm 0644

The error_log file on the fbsd box shows the following error:
get_printer_attrs: resource name '/ipp' no good!
Does there need to exist an ipp directory under the spool directory?
Where? I've tried this and still no go. Permissions, perhaps?
Thanks,
alex
