forbidden access
Authored by: ateazz on Sep 03, '02 05:22:16AM

Hi guys,
I try to use the cups printing over the network.
But if I go to the browser and try to "add printers", it says forbidden (no access to the server). This also happens when am logged in as root.
Am I doing something wrong???

forbidden access:just try gimprint

I'm now printing on My Epson 3000 via ethernet under Jaguar 10.2.

All this simply with 'CUPS&gimpprint' you can found here

just install the .pkg. Restart. et voilĂ .

there is an article here
or in french here

a list of printers

hardmac.com=macbidouille.com = a very good french MacosXhints-like site)


NB: hopefully I have not to wait for Epson to take care of me and the drivers I'm (we are) waiting for more than a year now and that I guess I(we) will never get. I though I had a 'professional' printer… maybe I thought bad.
this is exactly why I'm so happy the Mac joined the UNIX community or could we say the Unix community joins the Mac community.
More geeks = more solutions :)

I have the same problem! I can go one link deep inthe CUPS admin pages, but no more! I can see the printer list, but not add or configure printers via the web. :-(

Permissions problem?
I'm using a beta version, if that matters.

I finally found the reason for this problem that was bugging me, too: In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf it says somewhere: ... Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 ... The solution is to simply access the cups admin pages via http://127.0.0.1:631 instead of http://localhost:631. cheerio, f l o r i a n

I was defeated by CUPS access controls too. I found the following works:

Edit the cupsd.conf in /etc/cupsd

Comment out the following lines, right at the end of the file:

#Encryption Required
#<Limit GET>
#AuthType Basic
#AuthClass System
#</Limit>

This removes the requirement for a password and class of "system" to modify and/or add printers.

I did use http://127.0.0.1:631/ to access CUPS, and did not retry with localhost:631, but since it worked...

It doesn't work for me, though. I've tried using 127.0.0.1:631, I've tried using different browsers, I've tried editing the cupsd.conf file - nothing. After opening localhost:631 I can select the "Printers" tab but I am not allowed to add a new printer. CUPS doesnt accept my username or "root" or "admin" or "lp" with my password. As I am root I don't see what else I can do to access the CUPS administration area!

Please help!

Okay, I am the first one to admit that I am a bit too hasty sometimes... Of course, after editing the cupsd.conf file you'll have to restart the cups daemon to make things work. Well, yet another problem solved :-)
