forbidden access
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,

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

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!

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 :-) |
