Thanks to the people who helped on this problem (pasted
below) when I
posted it yesterday. I was able to determine that the
default
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf differs between Fedora Core 4 and 7,
the newer
version denying printer access from outside the subnet, and
the more
familiar older version allowing it.

***************************************************
To solve a print server problem I've posted to this list
about previously,
I'm upgrading one client from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 7
(the current
version) and am configuring it as the print server. I go
through all the
expected settings and the new print server works fine, but
only for
clients on the same router. Clients that send jobs from
outside never get
into the print queue, and when external clients browse to
the cups queue
status web page they get 403'ed. Local clients browse to it
fine.
I've checked my firewall and port forwarding on the router,
but just to
rule that stuff out I've tried it with the firewall down and
the print
server as the router's DMZ, but still no dice.
In the cups error log, it reports "Listening to
0:0:0:631 on fd4" which
seems odd, and it also says "unable to bind socket for
address :::631 -
Already in use." It also says "cupsd authorize:
Local authentication
certificate not found!" in several places. I'm not sure
what these errors
are telling me, and the print server does work fine for
192.168.1.0/8. The
cups access log shows the 403's for the external network,
but I have no
clue why cups on this FC7 server forbids the outside network
when the FC4
version had no problem. Any suggestions as to what I am
missing?
