Nothing untoward here that I can see. You should, if this queue is shared, be able to see its URI from the client with 'lpinfo -v' and 'lpstat -l -e'. What do they give? > The is the client; > scheduler is running > no system default destination > lpstat: Forbidden > lpstat: Forbidden > lpstat: Forbidden > lpstat: Forbidden > lpstat: Forbidden I've never come across that before. "Forbidden" simply shouldn't happen. It looks like the client is denying access to its cupsd. A common way to access the print queue on the server is to set a queue up on the client. The state of this *local queue* is shown by the lpstat command run on the client. What is happening on the server is of no consequence. Are you using a client.conf in $HOME/.cups or /etc/cups? Anything in /etc/cups/ppd? What do you have for 'ls -l /etc/cups/cupsd.conf? -- Brian.
