Rendezvous and CUPS cause auth probs
Authored by: Clewin on Aug 25, '04 12:57:21PM

There appears to be a problem with CUPS, rendezvous, and the web interface on port 631, and I'm guessing you were seeing this (I do on OS X.2, haven't tried X.3).

For instance, I type this:
http://localhost:631/admin to get to the Printer administration page. When I click on "test print" for a printer, my address magically becomes
http://Clewin's-computer.local:631/printers/lpr?op=print-test-page

If I click anywhere else, I either get a forbidden page or permission/login problem. Changing Clewin's-computer.local back to localhost in the URL works fine.
