Hello everybody.
note: if I'm posting to the wrong list: sorry
please feel free to move this to a better place - could'nt find a good place for this since I don't know if it's CUPS or networking related stuff...
I'm deeply confused since I can't get cups to work and I suspect my host settings or dhcp to cause the trouble.
This machine i'm working on is located at our institute, I have to use a proxy to access the net...
The error message I get when trying to print the testpage with cups reads:
I can access the cups localhost:631 menu-page, I can browse the web via our proxy.
My machine is called "beavis". The domain is ifu.fhg.de, but the laserjet is a local printer (parallel port).
The /etc/hosts:
| Quote: |
127.0.0.1 localhost
|
The /etc/hostname:
I didn't alter the config files od cups, since I specified my printer details via the web interface.
Quite franckly I don't really understand the locelhost / hosts stuff and since I have to use dhcp I dont't know, if should somewhere specify a line like
beavis.ifu.fhg.de
to describe my box
any help is greatly appreciated
EDIT: just discovered, that "127.0.0.1" gives me apparently the root dir of the proxy-server. Is this normal behavior or might this lead to the problem... ?!? |

you said that you have a dynamic ip?
try to add your hostname to localhost in /etc/hosts
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 localhost beavis
