I have been trying to set up printer sharing on the LAN.All machines are CentOS 5.2 fully updated. The problem server is a fresh build. The box it is replacing worked fine for many months. The problem appears to be a closed port 631 on the new box. iptables and ip6tables are stopped as shown by the output below. To confirm I was using nmap correctly I ran it against the old server first which shows 631 open. No matter what I do to the new box (192.168.2.205) 631 remains closed. I was running it on the new box via ssh which I think eleminates any swithc/router issues.
Any thoughts gladly accepted. This must be something simple/stupid I have overlooked. Not much hair left to pull out. ;-/
Cups defaults to only being open on localhost. You have to edit the config file to open more up.
Qouted by me earlier:
Interesting that when the local host address is used the port is open: [root@rwells-rh legacydp]# nmap -sT -p 631 -PT 127.0.0.1
"""It is configured by default to it has to be changed""" # Maybe they did not understand my wording of it? Should have said It has to be changed for networking. Posted a working networkable config also and linked the cups site also JohnStanley
