Description Marc Rechte 2003-11-08 10:02:52 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031007

Description of problem:
When trying to manage the CUPS printer, defined as IPP, from the
Windows XP printer (like pausing the printer) the status bar shows
access denied and the error_log shows: " stop_printer: admin request
on bad resource '/printers/HP1200PS' ". Another strange thing is that
the print job remains in the queue for a while although the job has
already been printed. However printing works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.17-0.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CUPS printer is defined, test page is OK
2. One can manage the printers from http: on port 631 from the XP
workstation
3. Add the http printer in Windows XP giving its URL
4. Open the printer and try to "pause printing": Access denied is shown.

Did you modify /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to allow remote administration? 
By default remote administration is not permitted.

Comment 2 Marc Rechte 2003-11-10 10:07:25 UTC
This is an abstract of the cupsd.conf regarding administration. I
don't know whether it can help: (i) on a Mandrake 7.3, on the same
hardware, it was working fine (ii) from the same Win client, I can
administer the Printer from a Web browser.

Thanks for your time.
Marc.
