 Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:04 am Post subject: client-error-not-found: can't add a new shared printer |
 |
|
Hello.
I have two PCs in my LAN. Since three month ago I'm not able to add a new printer on my gentoo.
My printer is shared by the windows PC and I can print from other windows PC.
The problem is when I try to add my printer from my notebook Gentoo Linux.
I can add my shared printer from http://localhost:631 but it doesn't work: simply it doesn't print anything.
When I go to KDE Control Center->Peripherals->Printers I still have problems: I can add my printer, but when I try to save the new device, or to delete an old one (printers) I get this popup error message:
| Quote: | Unable to add/remove printer HPDeskJet690C. Error message received from manager:
client-error-not-found |
I already searched "client-error-not-found" in this forum and google but I get a lot of results not helping me.
What can I do?

This error is very frequent. I am appalled that there is so little help available to solve it. So, not knowing what it exactly means, here's what I understood from hours of fiddling around with cups :
- It can mean that the cups cannot find the spool. It happened once whane I was tryiong to share an OSX printer. What I did (sorry, it was a long time ago) was that I forced the address of the queue like that SERVERNAME:PORT/QUEUENAME. QUEUENAME is usually the name windows gives to the printer. Try giving a name without spaces (I had problems with those).
- It can also mean that cupsd.sock in /etc/cupsd.conf is not set to a useful value. Try commenting it out.
One question though : are you using cups to print directly to the windows printer or are you going through samba ?
Rgds,
John |

Could you post a debug output of cups ? And I mean don't be shy : set the highest debug level !
I am actually thinking of putting together a web page about this error. |

This is my debug level log when I'm receiving the client-error-not-found:

THis happens also when I'm trying to use a Gentoo shared printer.
I'm doing all things by KDE control center.

Well, as it says, your ipp address is malformed. It's supposed to be in the form of an internet address, yours is a reference to a file. I am however surprised that you would use ipp in the case where the printer is connected to the windows machine. There should be a reference to the fact that you're using the samba spool.
Without your cupsd.conf and printer.conf it's kind of hard to say more...

I tried to set up my shared printer automatically by the KDE Control Center GUI.
Here's my cupsd.conf:
| Code: | LogLevel debug

and my printers.conf:

When my notebook hasn't a default printer installed, the only way to add a new printer is by http://localhost:631.
I've never had similar problems before!!! is it possible it is so difficult? What's wrong?
Thanks a lot.

I know. I recently had to re-install my gentoo and noticed the kde printer manager cannot add printers anymore. So I use the web interface. My advice is to stop using the kde manager until they fix it, since it can also mess up your printer config when everything is working.
Honestly, I don't get it : there's a discrepancy between what your log shows and what your config file reads, since the former shows something like ipp:///<name-of-a-file> when the config file reads an smb address. This could come from the client.conf.
Anyway, I think you're missing the queue name at the end of DeviceURI.
Cheers,
John |

Hi again,
I don't know if it is the same problem or something similar but I'm trying to print from a windows machine trough a Gentoo Linux shared printer.
If I go into Control Panel (windows), printers and I select my shared printer I see: "HPDeskJet690C on Gentoo Access denied, unable to connect". My printer is shared by gentoo and I didn't do any modifying since it was working.
Here's my tail /var/log/cups/access_log on server side:
| Code: | localhost - - [14/Apr/2007:09:37:08 +0200] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 129 CUPS-Get-Classes successful-ok

I was trying to print a PDF file from my windows client: nothing to do.
