[Pkg-cups-devel] [cups.bugs] Cannot print to jetdirect port 9101 (Ubuntu Dapper + Gutenprint 5.0 Beta2)

[Miles Lane]

Hello,
I filed a bug report with Ubuntu on this problem, but they have marked
the problem as needing to be fixed in Debian, if I understand correctly.
       http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22319

I have writing to the CUPS folks, but not making headway:

19:51:34.556944 IP 192.168.1.10.49568 > 192.168.1.1.9100: S
3771424590:3771424590(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 12027530
0,nop,wscale 2>
19:51:34.557910 IP 192.168.1.1.9100 > 192.168.1.10.49568: R 0:0(0) ack
3771424591 win 0

As you can see, Cups is printing to port 9100, even
though my socket is defined as socket://192.168.1.1:9101

When I load http://localhost:631/printers, the Cups admin page shows
that my socket is defined as:  "socket://192.168.1.1:9101".  The Cups
admin page also shows the Cups version as "CUPS v1.2svn".  Oddly, when
I open gnome-cups-manager 0.31, it shows the port as 9100.  I should
point out that is doesn't matter whether I try to print the test page
from the gnome-print-manager or from the CUPS web admin interface.
Both attempts use port 9100.

I am running into this problem on a PC.  I have both Fedora Rawhide
and Ubuntu Dapper + all updates.  I encounter this same failure on both
distros.  I just reproduced the issue with:

     cupsys         1.1.99.b1.r492
     cupsys-driver-gutenprint               4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
     The driver is listed as "Stylus-Photo-R340---CUPS+Gutenprint-v5.0.0-rc2"
     foomatic-db-gutenprint                 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
     ijsgutenprint                          4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1
     libgutenprint2                         4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1

The next thing I tried, I removed all the CUPS stuff, built/installed
espgs-7.07.1, gutenprint-5.0.0-rc2, and cups-1.2rc1.  Unfortunately,
Ubuntu is configured to disable the root account.  I guess they hacked
their own CUPS admin code to work with regular users.  I have tried to
set this up, but I continue to get permission denied when trying to
set up printers, etc.  Could one of you point me to a slightly modified
cups.conf file that enables me to specify my user account as
permitted to admin the CUPS server?  I tried adding my account to
the lpadmin group.  It didn't help.

Any idea how I should proceed?  Is this a known issue with your
packages or is it Ubuntu-specific.  If so, please make a note to this
effect in the bug report I gave the link to and attempt to light a fire
under someone's fanny.

Thanks,
            Miles
