Description Michael White 2007-01-28 18:05:26 UTC

Description of problem:
After installing Fedora Core 6, I was no longer able to share my printer.  Both
the "system-config-printer" and the http://localhost:631/ web page simply set
the "Shared" row to "Yes" in printers.conf.  This does not seem to be
sufficient, as this does not allow access to the printer from non-local
machines, even with all firewalls shut off.  I popped over into my Fedora Core 5
partition, and noticed the following was at the end of the Fedora Core 5
cupsd.conf file:

<Location /printers/printer>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
Allow from All
</Location>

I added a modified version to the bottom of the Fedora Core 6 cupsd.conf:

<Location /printers/printer>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
Allow from 192.168.128.0/24
</Location>

I then turned on the firewall, and all was good (minus a few handfuls of hair
missing from my head :).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-0.7.32-1

How reproducible:
Try to share a printer.  See URL for details.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Add a printer.
2.  Share a printer.
3.  Pull your hair out trying to figure out why a FC5 machine can't print to the
shared printer.
  
Actual results:
No pages printed.

Expected results:
Pages printed.

Additional info:
I thought this would be a CUPS issue, but Michael Sweet of CUPS says it's an
issue with the Linux distribution.  If this is not a system-config-printer
issue, please let me know who to direct this to (except for CUPS, who has
already dis-owned this issue).

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2007-02-05 14:13:00 UTC

Click on 'Server Settings' in the system-config-printer tool.  Is the 'share
published printers connected to this system' check-box checked or unchecked?

Comment 2 Michael White 2007-02-06 03:57:00 UTC

Sorry - missed that new tab.  It was unchecked.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2007-02-06 10:03:15 UTC

It needs to be made clearer in the interface I think.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2007-02-07 16:30:45 UTC

Fixed in CVS.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2007-02-08 10:26:39 UTC

Please try 0.7.50-1.fc6 from updates-testing:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'system-config-printer*'

Comment 6 Michael White 2007-02-12 04:41:02 UTC

Looks good - got rid of the tabs, right?  Looks like you basically open up the
system completely.  Is that the preferred way, rather than just opening up
"/printers/printer" (like above)?

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2007-02-12 12:01:49 UTC

The change I made for this to add a label underneath the 'Shared' check-box, so
that it could say 'Not published -- see server settings' when it knew that the
server settings were set not to publish shared printers.

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2007-02-14 19:59:27 UTC

Fixed in update: system-config-printer-0.7.52-1.fc6
