Re: CUPS: FC5 and older can't see printers shared by FC6




FC3 did have cups printing... it's available at least since redhat 9!
I still have one old machine running RH9 sharing some printers which are
seen by all computers (FC3, FC5, FC6 and MacOS X).

I'm replacing this machine with a new one running FC6.
All computers are in the same network and as cups' browsing is enabled by
default nothing should be necessary.

Hi,

I've just set up a Fedora Core 6 i386 computer and added several
printers to
cups.
Other computers with FC6 and MacOS X 10.3 are able to see all shared

but computers with FC5 and FC3 can't see them.

Any clues?
Well lets us start with FC3. It is my memory that FC3 did not use cups
printing.
If I am wrong on that then the question is, were the printers set up
using system-config-printer and you clicked on sharing. That will not
work with cups printer sharing in my experience.

How did you set up the FC5 machine to use the shared printers. If all
the machines are on the same LAN then you should have done nothing. In
particular you should not have filled in the reference to the server in
the client.conf file. If you tried to configure the printers using
system-config-printer, unconfigure them locally.
If the printers are on different LANs then you must identify the server
in client.conf.
