 |
|
Hi,
I'm having some troubles with printing at work after upgrading to CUPS 1.6.X. After the update, none of the network printers were visible on my laptop, which was using the following /etc/cups.client.conf:
| Code: |
ServerName printsrv
Browsing On
|
Also, when I run "lpstat -a" I got a "Bad request" error. After some googling I found that this was caused by the IPP version which was changed in CUPS to use version 2.0 by default, which isn't supported by the print server. After changing the config file to
| Code: |
ServerName printsrv/version=1.1
Browsing On
|
lpstat shows the list of printers  . However, the printers are still not visible in CUPS. When running cups-browsed in the foreground there were some errors:
| Code: |
# cups-browsed --debug
cups-browsed: Reading config: BrowseRemoteProtocols DNSSD,CUPS
cups-browsed: network interface at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
cups-browsed: Using signal handler SIGACTION
cups-browsed: failed to bind CUPS Browsing socket: Address already in use
cups-browsed: listening
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: NEW: service 'sccolor' of type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local'
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: NEW: service 'hp LaserJet 4250 [E1D909]' of type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local'
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
cups-browsed: Avahi-Resolver: Failed to resolve service 'sccolor' of type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
|
I found a forum post that this was related to ipv6 (which I don't use), so I set "use-ipv6=no" in "/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf". The error is gone. However, now cups-browsed doesn't detect any printers:
| Code: |
think martin # cups-browsed --debug
cups-browsed: Reading config: BrowseRemoteProtocols DNSSD,CUPS
cups-browsed: network interface at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
cups-browsed: Using signal handler SIGACTION
cups-browsed: listening
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: CACHE_EXHAUSTED
cups-browsed: Avahi Browser: ALL_FOR_NOW
|
Any tips on how to proceed with trying to get printing to work again?

Turns out that ipv6 wasn't the culprit.. my firewall was blocking avahi. After adding
| Code: |
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
|
to my firewall, the printers show up again . |
