I had the same problem with the parallel port.  I had to reboot the
machine with the printer plugged in and turned on for it to show up.

I did not have this problem, sorry.  I would suggest you double check
which hosts you are allowing to connect.  There are 2(?) spots in the
cupsd.conf file to check/change depending on if you are using it as a
headless server (like me) or a desktop.  Wouldn't be a bad idea to limit
it with hosts.allow too.

		http://cupsserver:631/admin/?op=3Dadd-printer=20

	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


I got the 'client error not possible' when I was trying to force cups to
recognize the parallel printer before I had restarted the computer, but
this was still via the web interface.

	the /var/log/cups/error_log reports:=20
=09
	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'!
