Setting up network access for a CUPS printer

Archived from groups: alt.os.linux.debian,comp.os.linux.misc,comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi

I have an HP OfficeJet K80 Xi connected to /dev/lp0 of a machine on my
network which has a firewall. I have opened the ipp port (631) on that
machine and am trying to set up a queue for printing to that host with
URI : ipp://hostname/printers/printername

I have edited /etc/cups/cupsd.conf on the host to allow printing from the
IP address of the client that I am trying to enable printing for, but when
I add it as an IPP printer on the client and try to print a test page, I
keep getting "will attempt to reconnect to host again in 30 seconds" type
of errors.

What do I need to check ?

Thanks.
