my clean dapper on a new laptop was not printing to a gentoo cups server (hplj4l) that worked fine before (also for osx, winxp, etc.). Problem as noted above re a few lines of control commands then nothing. My fix was to enable browsing on client then use one of the browsed printers for default. I manually setup browsing on my client by modifying /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf:
Browsing On BrowseProtocols cups BrowseAddress 192.168.12.255 BrowseShortNames Yes BrowseAllow All BrowseDeny None BrowseInterval 30 BrowseOrder allow,deny BrowsePort 631 If you use this change the browse address for your network setup. -- PJL output from 1.2.2 client over IPP https://launchpad.net/bugs/55828 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
