Package: cups Version: 1.3.11-1+b1 Severity: important I have a Lexmark X1290 attached to my desktop machine that shares it via CUPS to the laptops.
In my laptop the printer had always been automatically added by it's cups server, but a few days ago it stopped working. The printer is there but if I send a job it never gets printed. I assume it stopped working after a cups upgrade, I prefer testing for the desktop and the laptop but since cups is failing I upgraded the desktop's cups to the unstable version, however the problem remains. After that, in the laptop's browser I loaded http://localhost:631/printers and find out that the printer's URL is wrong. The desktop's IP address is 10.1.52.2 so the printer's URL had always been ipp://10.1.52.2:631/printers/Lexmark-X1290 but now it has changed to ipp://sgautomatizacion.local:631/printers/Lexmark-X1290 which has an unresolvable host name. The desktop's hostname has been sgautomatizacion.dynalias.com for a long time now and it never affected cups. In cupsd.conf I configured the server name to 10.1.52.2 a long time ago. Here is the desktop's cupsd.conf: ja...@sgautomatizacion:/$ cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf LogLevel warning ServerName 10.1.52.2 SystemGroup lpadmin # Allow remote access Port 631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock # Enable printer sharing and shared printers.

I tried by changing the desktop's hostname and then running: sgautomatizacion:/# /etc/init.d/cups stop * Stopping Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ ok ] sgautomatizacion:/# /etc/init.d/hostname.sh stop sgautomatizacion:/# /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start sgautomatizacion:/# /etc/init.d/cups start * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ ok ] sgautomatizacion:/# With no luck, cups keeps reporting the printer URL with the same hostname: "sgautomatizacion.local". I have been reading the cups documentation and can't find how to solve this. I even found out how to see the CUPS Browse Protocol messages and this is what I got in the laptop: inspironjaime2:/home/jaime# /etc/init.d/cups stop Stopping Common Unix Printing System: cupsd. inspironjaime2:/home/jaime# nc -l -u -p 631 2900e 3 ipp://sgautomatizacion.local:631/printers/Lexmark-X1290 "Oficina Jaime" "Lexmark-X1290" "Lexmark Z600 v1.0-1" job-sheets=none,none lease-duration=300 ^C inspironjaime2:/home/jaime# The only solution I have is to add the printer manually with a different name but I want the automatic detection to work again. I hope this doesn't break printing in the Mac OS X and Windows laptop's but I'll find that out after the weekend if I get complains. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (102, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii bc 1.06.94-3.1 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii cups-client 1.3.11-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-common 1.3.11-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.64~dfsg-13 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-compat-libdns 0.6.25-1 Avahi Apple Bonjour compatibility ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.3.11-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.3.11-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libgnutls26 2.8.3-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libijs-0.35 0.35-7 IJS raster image transport protoco ii libkrb5-3 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-10 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.23+nmu1 library for handling paper charact ii libpoppler4 0.10.6-1 PDF rendering library ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.6 OpenSLP libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl-modules 5.10.0-24 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.8-1 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.23 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL ii ttf-freefont 20080323-3 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii xpdf-utils [poppler-ut 3.02-1.4+lenny1 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cups recommends: ii avahi-utils 0.6.25-1 Avahi browsing, publishing and dis pn cups-driver-gutenprint <none> (no description available) ii foomatic-filters 4.0-20090509-1 OpenPrinting printer support - fil ii ghostscript-cups 8.64~dfsg-13 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF pn smbclient <none> (no description available) Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.3.11-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-pdf 2.5.0-4 PDF printer for CUPS ii foomatic-db 20090616-1 OpenPrinting printer support - dat ii foomatic-db-engine 4.0-20090509-1 OpenPrinting printer support - pro ii hplip 3.9.4b-1 HP Linux Printing and Imaging Syst pn xpdf-korean | xpdf-japane <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: * cupsys/raw-print: true * cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd Jaime Alberto Silva Socio / Representante Legal SG Automatización Ltda.
