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. ;-/
Do you have the Cups Service running? service cups status and service hplip status.
I don't have an answer but I have to believe that your problem is related to mine (thread: cups & hp-toolbox) my machine: Linux rwells-rh 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@rwells-rh legacydp]# /sbin/service hplip status hpiod (pid 6422) is running... hpssd (pid 6427) is running...
[root@rwells-rh legacydp]# /sbin/service cups status cupsd (pid 6453) is running...
10.40.90.14 is my IP address [roger@rwells-rh legacydp]$ nmap -sT -p 631 -PT 10.40.90.14
Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2009-03-02 11:34 EST Interesting ports on rwells-rh (10.40.90.14): PORT STATE SERVICE 631/tcp closed ipp
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
Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2009-03-02 11:47 EST Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): PORT STATE SERVICE 631/tcp open ipp
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.017 seconds
I hope that there are some clues here
