Description of problem: Configuring a RH 9 box on which the only active interfaces are lo, eth0. In a previous existance a CIPE interface was also active, but is now inactive (configured via redhat-config-network). Problem is that redhat-config-printer configures CUPS to listen on lo and the IP address of the (inactive) CIPE interface, but not the Ethernet interface. I fixed this by deleting the CIPE interface (as it wasn't used), but it shouldn't happen - if it *had* to just select one interface, you'd probably want the active one rather than the inactive one! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.47.11-1 How reproducible: Don't know. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure eth0 interface. 2. Configure CIPE interface. 3. Deactive CIPE interface 4. Configure print sharing on one of your printers 5. cupsd.conf only configures to listen on CIPE, not eth0 Actual results: cupsd.conf only configures to listen on CIPE, not eth0 Expected results: Listening on all interfaces Additional info:
Forgot to mention - because CIPE wasn't active, CUPS fell over on trying to bind the interface on startup. redhat-config-printer shouldn't try to get CUPS to listen on inactive interfaces because it prevents CUPS from starting.
How exactly did you configure print sharing? Using the redhat-config-printer tool? What settings did you change, exactly? Thanks.
Yes, using redhat-config-printer I edited the "sharing" configuration for each of my 3 printers to share with the local net (10.0.0.0/8). Although I think the first time I did it wrongly and entered 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 = 10.0.0.0/24 The CIPE interface had IP 9.8.7.2 (obviously non-routeable)
I'm having basically the same problem, but in my case it is caused by and alias. I have ifcfg-eth0:0 which defines an alias on the same subnet - used for virtual hosting a website. A Listen line is added only for the alias, not for the primary interface. This essentially breaks printing on my network until I edit /etc/cups/cupds.conf by hand after every configuration change. Also, there should be a way to configure which interface(s) cups should listen on.
