[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#616361: cups does no longer work with virtual guest (kvm)

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: normal


I have used qemu/kvm for some years to run a winxp guest. The guest used

   http://10.0.2.2:631/printers/PRINTERNAME 

to access my cups printer. However, after upgrading to squeeze, this doesnt 
work anymore. The printer is not accesible (from the guest. On the host 
everything is ok) and I find the following message in /var/log/cups/error_log:

E [03/Mar/2011:18:13:19 +0100] Request from "localhost" using invalid Host: field "10.0.2.2:631"

Looking in the cups code (/scheduler/client.c) I found that cups will only allow requests, if
the ip is 127.0.0.1 or for localhost.

Adding the line

  ServerAlias *

and/or

   HostNameLookups on

did not help. The problem has been described by different people:

http://blog.jamponi.net/
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498711
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33473

it may also be connected to debian bug  #530027

However, I did not find a suitable solution yet. (other than using samba
or a bridge for the network connection)

As this has worked before I think it is a bug.

Regards,

Juergen
