I updated a RH server to 6.4 and can't get remote printing to work

[Doll, Margaret Ann]

I copied over the printers.conf and cups.conf from the earlier RedHat
system.

Printing works fine from the server.

I have opened the iptables for port 613. I have opened /etc/host.allow for
the remote systems.

The remote systems get "printer is in use" when I try to send jobs through
the server.

The error_log in /var/log/cups says

Unable to restore printers.conf.

localhost:631 works fine on the server.

I forgot about the ??? selinix program.

I don't understand this last part... You tried to disable SELinux?

Disabling selinux did not help.

I was afraid that the clients could not access the printer server. ssh
works from the clients, but printing fails.

The jobs start sending from the cient, but then stalls. The mac client
gets the message that the printer is in use.
The job never prints.

I have all the printers on the server set up to share. I did notice that
the new cups does not have cups-lpd. We are using lpd from the clients to
connect to the server. The cold cups 1.1 had cups-lpd which ran. cups 1.4
on the new system does not have this component.

How do I attach clients to be able to print from the server?

I have added cups-lpd 1.4 to the system. I still have the same problem.

I haven't been able to find the complete list of packages that I need to
get remote printing to work using lpd.

So, which is it, 613, or 631? If you opened port 613, then you shouldn't
expect it to work.

(I know, probably a typo... but I had to mention it.)

The problem concerned xinetd.d/cups-lpd. This had to be enabled and the
port set to 515.

"iptables" had to include access to port 515

service iptables start
service xinetd start
service cupe restart

Service now works.

Thanks for your suggestions.
