[gentoo-user] can't print from firefox, but CUPS says OK

[gentoo-user] can't print from firefox, but CUPS says OK

[Allan Gottlieb]

For some reason printing from firefox has stopped working.
When I ^P or file-->print and select a printer (there are two),
the "print" button is greyed out.  With "print to file", the button is
live and the pdf file is successfully created

I can print via lpr.

If, in firefox, I goto localhost:631 (the cups home page on this machine),
I can print test pages to either machine.

Is there a way I can ask firefox to tell me why the print button is
greyed out?

thanks,
allan

Some further information.
Evince has the same situation, "print" is greyed out.

I have the newest stable poppler/evince installed and recall that
have upgraded poppler recently.  Should I be downgrading.

Below is the output of eix -I poppler -o evince

thanks,
allan

See bug #266678, especially comment #8. A revision bump of cups ought to be
under way.

Sounds like the same issue I have, do you get log entries like:
	Request from "localhost" using invalid Host: field "::1"
in /var/log/cups/error_log?

If you find a solution to this, please let me know here, I can't seem to
find a solution to the issue, and appearantly nobody has any ideas.

For this error, it's because you have an entry ::1 (equivalent for
127.0.0.1 in IPv6) for localhost in your /etc/hosts.
To solve, either remove the ::1 localhost entry in /etc/hosts, or add ipv6
use flag to cups.

Sorry I didn't notice your msg earlier.
My issue was fixed with a version bump to cups.
Do you still have trouble with 1.3.10-r1.

This is because cups start using ipv6 by default. Using your previous cuos
config should fix this.

No, I don't, that was one of the first things I checked, nothing has
changed on the system other than CUPS being recently updated.
