[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#624366: Bug#624366: Hello?

[Chris]

I did tell cupsd that everyone is authorized to print. I opened it up to all  
computers on the network.  It didn't matter who sent the job, if I used raw  
queues, it would not go through.

Also I am using it as a "proxy", I have been doing this for years.  It works  
on lenny, it does not work on squeeze.  I have done this on previous  
releases of debian, redhat, and gentoo with no problems.  It is only an  
issue on squeeze.

I took a look at the bug.  The biggest problem, it appears, is here:

D [27/Apr/2011:15:12:56 -0400] Returning HTTP Unauthorized for
Print-Job (http://10.99.99.126:631/printers/CUPS-Test) from 10.99.99.199

So you need to tell cupsd that the Windows system is authorized to 
print.  That's done in cupsd.conf; see the man page for the details.

Out of curiosity, it's been quite a while since I've had to mess with 
Windows, but the recommendation back then was to use Samba as a proxy 
between Windows and CUPS for printing.  Is there a reason why this 
doesn't work for you?  It might make life a bit easier.
