network printing via cups

Nese BAYAR — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 09:50:48 GMT

I use RH4 on HP Intel WS. Also remote host is accessable and pinging. I configured remote printer which using printer configuration tool at KDE but my remote printer does not print. I tried to print test page to the printer. Log file contains info like that:

Network host ' xxxxx ' is busy, down or unreachable will retry in 30 seconds.

How to configure it to print via ipp (631) or other port by I want network printing (step by step)

Start cupsd(service cups start) on your machine and connect to

http://localhost:631/

using a webbrowser it will present you will a nice configuration GUI.

I did this and my network printer is working without problems.

Host's firewall had run. I stopped FW and
When I start CUPS is chosen as printing system, and it is from the server itself, then an error message

Connection to CUPS server failed.
Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running.IPP request failed for an unknown reason.

appears
An error occurred while retrieving the list of printers
#lpstat -t
Scheduler is running
no system default destination
lpstat: get-classes failed:client-error-forbidden
get-printers failed:client-error-forbidden
get-jobs failed:client-error-forbidden

I have already restarted cups and cups is running .... same problem.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Try this on your client machine,

telnet printer's_ip 9100

Assume your printer accept jetdirect protocol
