some trivial questions abt Printing -- plz help

Print Server IP: 10.0.0.78

i can http://127.0.0.1:631, but cant http://10.0.0.78:631

=========
What Queu Type to select when configuring printer ?
I m going to configure a print server.
I hve connected a printer to my machine's(print server) parallel port or If the printer have a USB connector then to my machine's USB port then I run
#system-config-printer
the wizard ask to select the Queu Type, what Queue Type should I select ?
1, local print device/local-connected OR 2, Network CUPS(IPP)
I m asking this bcause I once heard that we should always select the Network CUPS(IPP), even the printer is connected locally to the server -- is it right ?

Now I have to configure the client to use this print device configured/installed on the print server(10.0.0.78), again same question what queu type I have to select ?
on client
-------
System-config-printer
If i select Network CUPS(IPP), the wizard ask to provide the Server address, and PATH
I dont know what to type in the PATH ?

By security reasons, cups only listen on 127.0.0.1.

Select local as de queue type for local printer.

Select Network CUPS for clients using this print server.

The path is /printers/printername

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and add the following line into the Network Options Section

Listen 10.0.0.78:631

Restart cups with:

service cups restart

[Maaz]

in cups.conf

Listen 10.0.0.78:631
restart the cups deamon.

then, http://10.0.0.78:631

You are right, one more thing is missing, configure:


Order Deny,Allow
Allow From All


Reload cups. Find in your current configuration file and make the changes.
