From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: This could be operator error but... I've got a private network with 1 server running with multiple printers connected to it using Fedora Core 3. I'd like to set the Share option for "All Hosts" so that all other computers automatically see (linux anyways) and print to these IPP printers (from both windows and linux). So I use the system-config-printer program, highlight my printer queue and hit the "Sharing..." button to bring up the sharing properties. From that window, I check the "This queue is available to other computers". By default it says allowed hosts are "All Host". When I save/apply these changes the updated cupsd.conf file only sets up sharing for the 127.0.0.1 address. I would expect a line that reads "Allow from All". Example section from written cupsd.conf. <Location /printers/stylus-photo-r300-1> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None </Location> As a work around, I use the GUI to set up sharing from a specific network address range. This will create a more usable cupds.conf file. Example: <Location /printers/stylus-photo-r300-1> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 AuthType None Allow from 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 </Location> Yeah, I know the later is more secure but its a private network that I'm constantly messing with IP addresses and Allow from All would be nice. :-) This has been the behavior since at least Fedora Core 1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-0.6.116-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create printer queue 2. Select Sharing from system-config-printer Action menu. 3. Check allow sharing. 4. Apply changes and then verify "Allow from All" is not in cupds.conf Additional info:
This works fine here. Please attach the output of 'printconf-tui --Xexport', making sure to remove any passwords it may contain.
Something has changed in my system and now those steps do not reproduce the problem for me either. Thank you for your time and please close this report. I will continue to try and reproduce the problem over time and then use the printconf command for future reports. I suspect that its some confusion between me hand modifying cupds.conf and then using system-config-printer to do certain other modifications.
