 Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2003 5:38 pm Post subject: CUPS not letting me login to web based admin |
 |
|
I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer. I followed the gentoo printer guide, and got it setup correctly, using the gimp-print-ijs driver. For some reason, whenever I try to print something that consists of 2-3 or more pages, my whole system locks up, and I have to manually reset the computer. When it comes back up, it starts trying to send the rest of the print job when CUPS starts, usually causing the system to freeze before I even get to login.
I don't know what the deal is with it. It did this before, so I figured maybe it was just something wrong with the system. So I reinstalled Gentoo(for other reasons too) thinking it would probably fix this problem at the same time. But the exact same thing is happening. Is there something I don't have configured right or what?
Also for some reason this time I can't even get access to the admin section of web based CUPS(localhost:631) When I click on admin I get some error telling me something to the extent of "it was unable to validate me as an authorized user". I would give the message, but I had to kill CUPS to keep the system from locking up again. Before I reinstalled, it would pop up a login box, but now it does't so I don't know what the deal is.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

I do not know much about configuring a printer. For my printer I used the KDEPrint module and I did not have any problem. If you have KDE installed I reccomend you to use it. It works with cups.
Have you set a hostname? If you have then you need to give this information to cupsd.
In the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and in the Server Identity type the hostname
Also do the same thing in the file /etc/cups/client.conf
Remember, to restart cupsd
These are the only changes that I did to make cups work.
Hope I helped |

Does anybody have any idea why the CUPS web admin is not giving me a login box? Please help me out.

Look for something similar to this:
| Code: | <Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 172.18.*
</Location>
|
In the Allow From field do you have only localhost or do you have your network IPs (or something entirely different)? Otherwise, my only guess would be something screwy with whatever browser you're using and their auth setup (although that would be kinda weird). |
