I am not sure which of those systems contains the problem. In any event, in my quest to get my network print server operational, I have tried several things. 1) I realized that my cupsd.conf file has not been changed since I first had my network print server working (about one year ago). So, I perused it and compared cupsd.conf to cupsd.conf.default and there were some large differences. So, I decided to start fresh and cp cupsd.conf.defaults cupsd.conf and edit it via the web interface. In here, I checked the "Share published printers connected to this system" and "Save debugging information for troubleshooting" options. After this, I was able to see the printer on my laptops. This takes me to item 2). 2) In trying to print from my laptops, I kept getting some generic errors. So, I did some Googling and found the fix, which was to add the ip address and hostname of the print server to my /etc/hosts file on my Mac OS X boxen. I did this and it fixed this printing issue and I ended up with the same "stopped at novalue" endgame. This takes me to 3). 3) To ensure that the CUPS on my Mac laptops was not to blame, I installed the latest (1.2.2) CUPS on it and tried printing and had the same errors. I am really running out of ideas in trying to fix this. Do any of you know anybody who has a similar setup working so I can compare conf files and system setup with them? I am willing to try anything suggested on my server. What GNU/Linux distributions (and CUPS versions) has hplip been tested against? I have my CUPS config files attached to this message. At this point, I think we should assume that every step I have done has been incorrect (or I missed one). If I were to install FreeBSD from scratch, then install CUPS and hplip, what steps do I have to take (step by step) to create my network print server? Thank you so much for your assistance. --Apple-Mail-9--603673684--
