I used to have it working fine using openSUSE 11.1, then I upgraded to 11.4 and haven’t been able to get it working since.
I can ping the server ok (ping 192.168.1.30) but cannot connect from web browser to http://192.168.1.30:631/printers it says “The server at 192.168.1.30 is taking too long to respond.” This is the same from any workstation, Windows or Linux. The printer works fine locally on the server box.
I noticed that Swerdna’s tutorial (which I used successfully to setup this on 11.1) hasn’t been updated for 11.2 upwards, I noticed that a couple of files that needed to be changed previously I don’t even have in my current 11.4 version, ie /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types. I’m wondering if these are replaced by something else now, and if that has any bearing on my problem.
Has anybody successfully done this on 11.4, any tweaks that might not be on Swerdna’s tutorial?
I’ve never done this myself and got no idea if there’s anything missing in the guide but I can try to help.
First of all check if your openSUSE is listening on the proper IP and on the proper port. This command should do it :
netstat -apn | grep 631
If all looks good than enable firewall logs on openSUSE and look for problems. This is my prefered way to look at the logs once You enable the firewall logging (easy with YaST firewall GUI) :
