Re: [sudo-discuss] upstairs laser printer

I have no idea how to figure out why the print server isn't working. OK i taught myself stuff like how to look into cups (common unix print server) the printer is fine (visiting http://100.64.64.88/ says it's in power-saving mode, ready to print) the server appears OK but never reports errors anyway the CUPS server is at http://localhost:631/ but it doesn't let me do anything, and even if it did, it only has the ability to kill one job at a time, and there are dozens of jobs.. ok eventually, on space (the computer hosting the print server) i ran sudo cancel -ax Lexmark and sudo cupsenable Lexmark and then shit started eventually working. does anyone know how to get the machine to accept connections to the cups web interface? I can see it thusly: lynx http://localhost:631 ok i figured it out, change localhost to 0.0.0.0 in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and then sudo service cups restart now we can see the cups page from outside the computer. tom, can you put the cups server in a frame with the print server? and also maybe the part of the printer's page at the top, to the right of the Lexmark logo, where it says present status? If you feel like it. http://192.168.42.2:8888 http://192.168.42.2:631 -jake On Wed, 9 May 2018, Thomas Levine wrote:
