Title: cups with 7.1
Post by: sparticus on January 16, 2007, 06:28:56 AM

Yesterday everything got updated nicely with yum to 7.1 but for some reason today everything has gone up the wall when it comes to printing. Basically, none of the networked pc's show up the printers and i cant show up cups through the server-manager or directly through ip.
I tried uninstalling cups and then re-installing it again but the exactly same problem occured.
Anybody have any suggestions?

I did a update also from 7.0 to 7.1 and had no problem. Didn't you get any errors?
I'm not that experienced, but it looks like Samba is the problem.

Im not that experienced either so im not sure if Ive missed something, but I dont seem to be getting any errors myself. Thats the strange thing...
Any suggestions for any obvious places to look?

Are you sure the upgrade did not (re-)install e-smith-LPRng, as this should be uninstalled for cups to run properly if I remember correctly.

Are you seeing anything in your log files that may give a clue to what is happening?

The installation instructions for CUPS on SME 7.0 do not work on SME 7.1 due to yum configuration changes. Apologies for not noticing this sooner. I hope to come up with a solution soonish.

Post by: sparticus on January 28, 2007, 01:16:06 PM

if you login via ssh and then do this on a clean install of 7.1 it will work with cups:

[root@hostname ~]# yum remove e-smith-LPRng

[root@hostname ~]# wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/rvandenaker/testing/smeserver-cups/repositories/7.0/RPMS/noarch/smeserver-cups-0.0.1-02.noarch.rpm

[root@hostname ~]# yum localinstall smeserver-cups-0.0.1-02.noarch.rpm

[root@hostname ~]# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade

[root@hostname ~]# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

Login to server manager and you can access the cups manager from there.

Cheers.

>Login to server manager and you can access the cups manager from there.

then I get:

The requested URL /server-manager//cgi-bin/printers was not found on this server.

Be aware that enabling all repositories is not advised, users could have all kind of repositories available if their system is not an out-of-the-box installation.

Do you really need the port to be public? IMHO private should also do (only for local networks and external networks defined in the remote access panel), setting to public would mean the port is opened for everyone on the external interface.

I should have stated that I run SMEserver in server-only mode and as such access from the big bad internet is controlled by another box.

However, I would think that the rpm should be setting the TCPPort property.

I have the same problem.
Can anyone give advice on how to get the pdf printing to work?
I have installed the dpf-distiller, but nothing shows up in the Cups iterface.
