Hello list, I am trying to set up a remote Epson printer with a Epson print server attached. I am using IPP and when setting up a print queue from system- config-printer, I am unable to print a test page. I get this error:
There was a problem sending CUPS test page to 'remote740' queue:
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
Sorry to reply to my own post but, more info. I hooked up the printer locally and still got the error so it has nothing to do with being remote. The local queue is not seen by any apps either, but as before I can print a test page from localhost:631. I'm beginning to think the CUPS install on this machine is borked. I have also eliminated SELinux and firewall as issues.
I can however print a test page from http://localhost:631/printers, whether I set up the queue in http://localhost:631/printers or in system-config-printer. If I set up a queue from the web interface system-config-printer does not see it, but the web interface sees any queue I set up. This is a fully updated CentOS 4.2 Athlon XP machine and I have this remote printing working perfect from FC3 and from CentOS 3 machines on this network. The queue is never seen in OO or any other apps that I've tried to print from.
I am probably missing something simple, but cannot find it.
Any thoughts welcome, Marvin
