Re: [tlug] Printer Not Responding

Scott,

Thank you for responding.

The section you refer to looks like this in my cupsd.conf file:

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
 Order allow,deny
 Allow localhost
</Location>

I changed it to:

# Restrict access to the server...
<Location />
 Order allow,none
 Allow localhost
</Location>

And restarted cups. Sadly, no change.

Did I edit the syntax correctly?

Just for reference, here is my cupsd.conf file:

dave@example.com:/etc/cups$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
* Stopping Common Unix Printing System: cupsd                           
[ ok ]
* Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd    ...done.
