enabling cups from client side

[TCEQ UNIX]

trying to configure cups from client side on redhat AS 3.0. server runs fine. if I want to give few clients to access server through browser what lines do I need to add on cups.conf ?

I added Allow from IP of HP machine (client)
and added port 80. it is not working properly. Any advice?

[Huc_1]

Cup print uses ipp protocole this is port 631

cat /etc/services | grep "ipp"

ipp 631/tcp # Internet Printing Protocol
ipp 631/ucp # Internet Printing Protocol

all the usefull files should be in /etc/cups on the linux side

J-P

[TCEQ UNIX]

checked /etc/service and ipp lines looks fine. have also looked /etc/cups and edited
cupsd.conf


Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 10.10.xx.xxx
BrowseAllow from 10.10.xx.xx

#Encryption Required
Port 80

Is this right. thanks !

Hi,

The configuration you have above is very insecured because it means that anyone from the added client IP's can manage your cups server. You should configure the instead.

Actually the default cupsd.conf (Mandrake 9.0) should work well because it already allows access from clients on your LAN. All you need to configure is to add the cups server's hostname to the client.conf file on the client machines.

By the way it's better to use the default
port 631.

Success.
