Adding network printer error occurs.. 1

[antix]

Hello,

I have added a network printer through SCOADMIN but get errors with testing..

Please enter selection: 5

Enter the network peripheral name or IP address: lp55

The following types of test files can be sent to the printer:

1) text file
2) PostScript file
3) HP-GL/2 file

Which type of file should be sent? (1/2/3 default=1) 1

===============================================================
Checking that soutb is on the printer's access list ...
/usr/lib/hpnp/cfg/canaccess lp55

Printer access test failed. Add soutb to the
printer's access list before continuing.

The IP address is configured correctly on the server and is alive. Lp55 is in the /etc/hosts file and the server is able to ping via IP or name.



Thanks Scott

What is "soutb"... the hostname?

Try looking at the /usr/lib/hpnp/cfg/canaccess script to see how it's verifying access to the printer... Annihilannic.

Canaccess is a compiled file and I cannot read those... It appears to be what I was beginning to suspect. Something wrong witht the jetdirect port. these by default are wide open to access via telnet and I know they have done nothing to restict it. Yet it refuses the connection. hmmm
