I have 2 computers that were networked via router and nfs
The printer worked normally using cups and OpenSuse 12 and 11
Now I installed OpenSuse 131, the system no longer detects the printer automatically.
Eventually, both of tinkering here and there, the printer just appearing, but if I restart, the printer disappears again.
Have experienced permanently disable the firewall, but nothing happens and the network is functioning normally ever for other programs.
I hope you read through the whole thread and also through the other thread that is mentioned there. When you think your case is different, then please explain clearly what system is what and uses what… I can not understand that without any doubt from your description above. Like: System A uses openSUSE x.y and is the CUPS server, etc. You first talk about “2 computers” and then without further explanation you say “the system”. How can we know which is which?
I realy don’t know. Your problem is quite unclear to me.
Your story is a bit vague, but I read words like printers not found, clients servers and whatever. And because the problem with the printers from the other threads looks a bit like yours I pointed you to them.
Again, when I was wrong and those threads are not about your problem, then please describe your problem more precise.
I reinstalled CUPS and now the network printer is working again as before …
The printer stopped be accessed after I installed OpenSuse 13.1 version and kept the /home directory.
Perhaps the old CUPS configuration was not updated with the new installation of OpenSuse and I lost access to the remote printer.
Please, sorry for causing hassles with my inaccuracy in reporting the facts.
The English language is not my native language, I have serious problems to report and understand, but am struggling to learn. Joining to this, I also make an effort to learn about OpenSuse.
So please be patient with this young lover of OpenSuse.
When reinstalled CUPS, I thought the problem was solved, but the problem reappeared the next day.
If possible, tell me what tests should I do to solve this problem
I’m assuming that you are experiencing the problem that cupsd is not starting at boot via systemd. That has been a recent problem with the way systemd is configured with respect to socket activation (ie cups.service and cups.socket configuration). The OBS printing repo has a new cups build that should fix this issue (by not making cups.service reliant on cups.socket any longer).
Add the repo like this (via terminal as root)
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_13.1/ Printing
Then do
zypper in -f cups
Follow the prompts given to switch vendor
Solution 1: Following actions will be done:
install cups-libs-1.5.4-144.1.x86_64 (with vendor change)
openSUSE --> obs://build.opensuse.org/Printing
install cups-client-1.5.4-144.1.x86_64 (with vendor change)
openSUSE --> obs://build.opensuse.org/Printing
Now, you should have cupsd running, and be able to reach your network printer.
I’m not sure what you mean. Now that you have the OBS packages installed, please confirm the following
systemctl status cups.service
Note: cups.socket and cups.path will not be used.
With cupsd running in both client and CUPS server machines, you should be able to access the printer. If not, make sure that the client cupsd.conf configuration is correct. For reference, I have
cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
LogLevel warn
