I have a 9.10 Ubuntu Server installed and I want to make it a print server and am trying to get access to the cups browser admin page from a windows client machine. I installed cups:
sudo apt-get install cups
then I edited the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and tried several different listen cominbations:
Listen 192.168.1.109:631 #ip my router gives it3
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock #already in conf file
Listen fileserver:631 #hostname of server
Port 631 #listen for all incoming requests on 631?
samba is also installed (which I think is necessary to share the printer out?
and finally I added my user to the lpadmin group:
sudo adduser tone lpadmin
but when I try to navigate any of the following I get 403 forbidden
http://fileserver:631/admin
http://fileserver:631
http://192.168.1.109:631/admin
http://192.168.1.109:631
What did I miss?
