Re: Printing with N900

I had problems, authenticating to the server.
I got it doing this:

lppasswd -g lpadmin -a <username>

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf enter this:

<Location /admin>
* AuthType BasicDigest
* AuthClass Group
* AuthGroupName cupsadm
* Encryption Required
* Order allow,deny
* Allow @LOCAL
</Location>

By the way: How can I print with fennec? I was told, that this is possible.

I have no BT printer, so please test and report!

Just tried to install cups-pdf, but there are dependency problems since libpaper-utils is missing, cf. http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...s-pdf/2.4.8-3/

Re: Printing with N900

Re: Printing with N900

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf like above,
Then open http://localhost:631 in your browser.
Then add your printer.

Could you copy this howto to a public page?

Re: Printing with N900

Having installed cups and cups-client packages, I get the error "can not connect to server" when adding the printer with lpadmin.

Can somebody make a single how-to?

Re: Printing with N900

What should I write more?
I wrote everything in this thread. It's the same as it is on a normal linux system.
If you want to use multiple printers, I think you have to install the server components.
Maybe using the server with its webinterface will me easier to configure.

@narcisgarcia
Did you create a client.conf?

Re: Printing with N900

I've done everything in the first pages of this thread.
I've also tried with the web interface (asks for an unknown password when applying changes)

I ask for a "single how-to" because I see talking about different solutions in this thread.

Re: Printing with N900

For the PW problem look at post #31 of this thread, a few posts above.

Re: Printing with N900

I just tried a fresh installation of cups and its dependancy.

But at the end cups couldn't be configured because of libpam0g not fine configured, too:

Code:

/home/user # apt-get install cups    

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

cups is already the newest version.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

2 not fully installed or removed.

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.

Setting up libpam0g (1.0.1-maemo1) ...

dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: No such file or directory

dpkg: error processing libpam0g (--configure):

 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cups:

 cups depends on libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1); however:

  Package libpam0g is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):

 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Errors were encountered while processing:

 libpam0g

 cups

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

/home/user #

Any ideas how to get this configured?

Thanks in advance...
