X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: lrh@alum.mit.edu List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2003 00:44:06 -0000 I have installed CUPS on two separate machines (very different machines, too) from the distribution disks in the Boxed set of FreeBSD release 5.1. I can connect to the daemon on localhost:631 and read the documentation, BUT I can't do anything else. CUPS won't even allow me to put in a new printer, and responds with an error message page "Entity too large." The fact that this happens on two different computers in exactly the same way means either that I am doing something wrong in exactly the same way, or that there is something wrong with the distribution. I have read the documentation very carefully and tried to follow the examples exactly. No joy. Perhaps you can give me some advice. I have a laserjet on an LPT queue on my router, with address 192.168.2.1, with queue name lpt1. What should I be enterring for the values of the name, location, and description for this device? Alternatively, what would the line be to accomplish the addition of this printer using lpadmin, please? If I'm doing this right, I'll just build CUPS from the port, but I'd be willing to bet I'm doing something wrong. -Lyman
