You'll need to supply more information, from your post all that can be determined is that you have a printer connected to your Gentoo machine, (assumed connected by USB cable for the Brother DCP-T300) and that you want to share it with 1 or more clients that aren't running Gentoo. It's not a lot to go on.

What flavour is/are the client/s (linux, osx, win-xx)? Wired or wireless lan?

You say you can't print a test page, can you confirm the printer is showing up to the client as an available network printer, and you can connect successfully, but then fails to print the test page? In that case there should be something useful in the logs ie.
Code:
/var/log/cups/access_log
Code:
/var/log/cups/error_log
If so grep through for errors and paste the output here.

Post the following file from the cups server:
Code:
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
and the output of
Code:
equery u cups
and
Code:
lpoptions


From the client
Code:
/etc/cups/client.conf
and the output of
Code:
lpstat -a

Hi Oniryczny,
Sorry I am away on a construction site until later this week, I'll try and get a look at this for you when I get back, I really need to be able to review my own machines and settings as cups is not something I have to reconfigure often.

From memory you're serving almost all windows clients, what is handling authentication for the domain / workgroup there? I'd say the problem will likely be there, you could try backing off your security in cupsd.conf before the<Local /Admin> to something like:
Code:
# Allow remote access
Port 631
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
Browsing On
# BrowseAddress
BrowseLocalProtocols
DefaultAuthType Basic
WebInterface Yes
<Location />
  # Allow remote access...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow all
</Location>

And if you get a connection start tightening up from there. But really I can't help much from here. Someone else may jump in meantime.

FTR I haven't run windows clients on my network for a decade, so I won't be much use with the client end of this problem. But usually it isn't too hard to get printers to print.

I added those lines (delete any?) and restarted cupsd but nothing new just Test page exist in Windows Print queue (previously it was gone from it)

I have succesfully printed Test Pagr from debian :)

And I changed err_log to debug so now it looks: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/NjNTL1wrCyxU53hHlprX/

Sorry if I was unclear, I meant for you to edit / comment replace this section in your cupsd.conf:

Code:
#
# Configuration file for the CUPS scheduler.  See "man cupsd.conf" for a
# complete description of this file.
#

# Log general information in error_log - change "warn" to "debug"
# for troubleshooting...
LogLevel warn
PageLogFormat

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
#Listen localhost:631
Listen *:631
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock

# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseLocalProtocols dnssd

# Default authentication type, when authentication is required...
DefaultAuthType Basic

# Web interface setting...
WebInterface Yes

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
  Order allow,deny
  Allow localhost
  Allow from 192.168.1.*
</Location>


with the following
Code:
# Allow remote access
Port 631
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
Browsing On
# BrowseAddress
BrowseLocalProtocols
DefaultAuthType Basic
WebInterface Yes
<Location />
  # Allow remote access...
  Order allow,deny
  Allow all
</Location>


I looked at your updated logs, tidying up cupsd.conf should take care of the following E lines

Quote:

Make the changes and restart the cups server (perhaps manually roll those logs too, they date back to 2015 and it's a bit tedious scrolling through them) then retry your print job.

Run one job from the debian client that is successful and one from a windows client that isn't, post the log and we'll go from there. I think you're missing a step serving printer to windows (from memory when I was doing that I had a Samba PDC on my printserver, and that took care of distributing the drivers for windows clients, but it's been so long since I ran this configuration I really would need to go back and reeducate myself on the various methods available now.
