I have a 9.10 Ubuntu Server installed and I want to make it a print server and am trying to get access to the cups browser admin page from a windows client machine. I installed cups:
sudo apt-get install cups
then I edited the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and tried several different listen cominbations:
Listen 192.168.1.109:631 #ip my router gives it3
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock #already in conf file
Listen fileserver:631 #hostname of server
Port 631 #listen for all incoming requests on 631?
samba is also installed (which I think is necessary to share the printer out?
and finally I added my user to the lpadmin group:
sudo adduser tone lpadmin
but when I try to navigate any of the following I get 403 forbidden
http://fileserver:631/admin
http://fileserver:631
http://192.168.1.109:631/admin
http://192.168.1.109:631
What did I miss?

Try
Listen *:631Tone : this partially solved my issue, had to change a few others things as wellFrom Dennis Williamson -
I'm pretty sure CUPS allows Admin / web access from localhost only by default. If you're not on the same computer as CUPS, you may need to add
Allow from 192.168.1.1/24
to your cupsd.conf <Location> sections.From TonyUser -
You might find the answer in the logs
sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/{access,error}_logFrom Johan -
I found a sample on the internet somewhere - had to make some changes to my config file:
# Only listen for connections from the local machine. #Listen localhost:631 Listen *:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock # Show shared printers on the local network. Browsing On BrowseOrder allow,deny BrowseAllow all BrowseAddress @LOCAL # Default authentication type, when authentication is required... DefaultAuthType Basic # Restrict access to the server... <Location /> Order allow,deny Allow localhost Allow @LOCAL </Location> # Restrict access to the admin pages... <Location /admin> Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL </Location> # Restrict access to configuration files... <Location /admin/conf> AuthType Default Require user @SYSTEM Order allow,deny Allow @LOCAL </Location>From Tone
