Hello,
I'm not really sure if QUESTIONS is the right place to start with this
issue but here goes. (BTW, I've googled the mailing archives for both
FreeBSD and CUPS, read TFMs, and used the article posted on
freebsddiary.org)
My intention is to build a print server supporting 2 parallel and two
USB printers. I'm running 4.7-STABLE and have built world and a custom
kernel on Jan 13 2003.
I've done a fresh cvsup of the ports system this morning to get the
latest parts of the CUPS system.
make and make install went fine and I have launched the cupsd via
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start
Problems start occurring at this point. Here are the issues I'm
having:
1. CUPS does not see my parallel ports.
# dmesg | egrep -i 'lp|parall'
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
ppc1: <Parallel port> at port 0x278-0x27f irq 8 on isa0
lpt1: <Printer> on ppbus1
lpt1: Interrupt-driven port
ppi1: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus1
# lpinfo -v
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
serial serial:/dev/ttyd0?baud=115200
serial serial:/dev/ttyd1?baud=115200
direct usb:/dev/ulpt0
direct usb:/dev/unlpt0
So I'm not seeing either parallel printer. Not sure if this is a
CUPS issue or FreeBSD issue at this point.
2. CUPS http interface "broke"
If I point a browser at the CUPS host: http://cupsserver:631/admin
I see the admin page, but the navbar across the top is missing,
all I see is the ALT text. The cups /var/log/cups/access_log
shows 403 errors for all /images/*gif.
When I attempt to add a new printer via http interface by issuing
http://cupsserver:631/printers
The browser returns an alert...
The document contains no data
and the /var/log/cups/error_log says...
W [03/Feb/2003:12:11:16 -0600] Possible DoS attack - more than 10 clients
connecting from 172.16.1.33!
W [03/Feb/2003:12:11:16 -0600] Possible DoS attack - more than 10 clients

W [03/Feb/2003:12:11:16 -0600] Possible DoS attack - more than 10 clients
connecting from 172.16.1.33!
If I try to add a new printer with the URL:
http://cupsserver:631/admin/?op=add-printer
I go to the next page of the "wizard" and fill in the printer
form, but a submission returns the same errors as above.
3. Cannot add printers via CLI:
If I try to add a new printer from a CLI, I see...
# lpadmin -p LaserJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lpt0 -m laserjet.ppd
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
the /var/log/cups/error_log reports:
I [03/Feb/2003:12:20:52 -0600] New printer 'LaserJet' added by 'root'.
E [03/Feb/2003:12:20:52 -0600] add_printer: bad device-uri attribute
'parallel:/dev/lpt0'!
If anyone suggestions on where to go from here I'd appreciate it.
Perhaps someone has successfully installed and is using the latest
CUPS and could provide some pointers.
