[gentoo-user] Gentoo print server

[gentoo-user] Gentoo print server

[Grant]

I'm trying to set up one of my systems as a print server and I'm stuck
at the point where I should configure the system's printer.  It's a
headless system so I need to configure the printer through my
workstation.  I'm using this:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml

and I've followed the steps to allow remote administration, but I'm
not sure how to actually do that.  Should typing this into the browser
work:

192.168.0.1:631

I just get the standard:

"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.1:631."

Make sure CUPS is installed and cupsd is running (/etc/init.d/cupsd
start) - 'rc-update add' it too so it starts at boot obviously. After
that, just make sure you're connecting to the right address for that
host.

Make sure that in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf you have a

Listen 192.168.0.1:631

line. Without it, IIRC, CUPS will listen on localhost:631.

Thank you, just what I needed.  It's not mentioned in the Gentoo
printing doc for some reason, even though they cover remote
administration.

It's now working great via:
