Description Stephen John Smoogen 2006-04-03 00:52:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

Installed FC5, and setup printer for printing. Printer is able to print locally. 
Started system-config-printer to try and get printer to share:

Got error message
No match for USB device:
  mfr "Brother"
  model "HL-1850_1870N series"
  desc ""
  cmdset "PJL,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT"
Please report this message in Bugzilla:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
Choose 'foomatic' as the component.

Clicked on printer, clicked on sharing 
Clicked on "This queue is available to other computers"
Added 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
Clicked OK  [Closed network window]
Clicked OK  [Closed share window]
Clicked OK [ Closed "Edit a print quueue"]
Clicked APPLY
Checked netstat -natp
  Saw that cups was still listening on localhost only.
  Checked /etc/cups/ file and saw that nothing was there that I had put in.

Restarted tool, repeated steps
Redid the changes and put in /24 instead. Saw this get changed to 255.255.255.0
Cups began listening on all networks.
Weird.
Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2006-04-03 08:52:50 UTC 
There are two unrelated issues here:

1. That sharing a queue did not work, and
2. That your printer is not automatically detected
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2006-04-03 08:54:41 UTC 
This is number 1.
Comment 3 Derek Atkins 2006-06-07 12:21:19 UTC 
Yeah, it looks like the CUPS "Allow from @IF(ifname)" doesn't quite work right
in FC5.  I kept getting a "403 Permission Denied" when configured that way.  As
soon as I changed the configuration from Interface to IP Address, it worked great.
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2006-06-07 12:46:25 UTC 
Derek, the original description didn't mention '@IF(ifname)' -- perhaps you are
seeing a separate bug?

Anyway, please attach the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that exhibits the problem, and
tell me how to see the '403 Permission Denied' error.  Thanks.
Comment 5 Derek Atkins 2006-06-07 12:55:03 UTC 
Created attachment 130675 [details]
cupsd configuration that causes 403 errors

Yeah, it could be a separate bug, but it sounded similar -- especially the fact
that changing to a network/netmask solved the problem for me.

As for how to see the 403 Permission Denied error, just try to access
http://<cupsd-ip>:631/printers/printer from a host on 'vmnet8' or 'vmnet1' and
you'll see it.	Accessing /printers works fine... But then when you click on
"printer" it gives you a 403.

(If you can't tell, this was an attempt to get my vmware guest system to print
using my linux-host cups configuration..   and it was working just fine in FC3
until I updated my machine the other day).

Thanks.

Reported upstream (with fix):

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2006-06-08 10:49:31 UTC 
Please try this test update:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-June/msg00081.html

You should be able to try this out using this command, as root:

  yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'cups*'
Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2006-06-20 10:25:43 UTC 
Anyway, works here.
Comment 9 Derek Atkins 2006-06-20 12:18:11 UTC 
Oops, sorry, forgot to respond to this.  Yes, I updated and yes this fixed it.
Thanks
