I can't get printer works on FreeBSD even via web-based CUPS interface, so only way to get work is by via samba+cups. So... I never knew how gnome-cups-(manager|add) are doing on FreeBSD with printer. > I checked out the FAQs and browsed through this list but can't find > anything relevant. > > It might have something to do with the authentication to root when I run > it as a normal user: > > GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: > Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols > specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. This error is harmless, you get that because your GTK app is running as in root. You will see a lot of that if you search in google. I get that too and I don't have problem with use gnome-cups-(manager|add). > Despite the message, the 'gnome-cups-add' interface proceeds to show the > proper dialogs and everything seems normal - till the end - the printer > is > NOT added, and the error message is: > > ** (gnome-cups-add:20755): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status > 1028 > > I researched that message, and got lots of hits, but nothing fits.

Sorry, my respone isn't really helpful since I am pretty clueless either. If I have printer that works with FreeBSD, then it would be a different story as I might be able to get it works.
