From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: Using the command line system-config-printer, I set up my LPD print server networked Samsung Laser ML-1750 printer. All looked fine until I tried a test page print. No printout, and the error message "Unable to reserve port. Permission denied" appeared in the printer status line. The port used was server name = 192.168.1.102, printer name L2 This same setup works in FC3 and a number of other distributions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: run system-config-printer 1. set up LPD server networked printer 2. print a test page 3. Actual Results: No printout. Printer status says "Unable to reserve port. Permission denied." Expected Results: Test page should have printed. Additional info:
Does this happen if you try again now? (It might be different if you have rebooted since this report.) If it still happens, please show me the output of 'netstat -tlp' as root.
Still happens. Your message prompted me to remember the firewall problem with FC3, so I checked with/without the firewall enabled - same result.
