ubuntu printing problems
|
|
|
| I've recently installed ubuntu 5.04 on my desktop tower pc. I've installed
my Brother HL1440 and by commenting out the RunAsUser line and the
'Location /jobs' lines in the cupsd.conf file I have finally gotten the
printer to appear on other computers on the net - but I still can't print
from the other computers. I had this working previously with Mandrake
10.1, but I had a disk crash and had difficulties doing the Mandrivel
mini-CD install, so I'm trying to get Ubuntu set up. Any help here will be
greatly appreciated. When I try to print a test page from another computer
on the net using cups web page - I get 'Forbidden You don't have
permission to access the resource on this server.' I'm in the process of
trying to wade through the cups docs, and I suppose I'll resolve it
eventually, but assistance would be great.
thanks

Got it. I finally found a four step edit for the cupsd.conf file on the
cups web site. Why the hell people don't set up useable defaults I'll
never know.
