[SOLVED] CUPS requires account login for remote

[wrw105]

I'm sure this is just a setting I'm overlooking, but I'm stumped on this one.

I'm using a MGA2 desktop as a print server. Printing from a remote client requires a user on the server to be logged in, or the print server won't accept jobs. Is there a setting I"m missing to allow remote printing to this device without a user logged in to the server?

Thanks!

It sounds like windows printing rather than cups. Is the remote client a windows machine?

oj,

no, it's a laptop running MGA2 64 bit. printing over ipp in CUPS.

What does the server say (or what do his logs say) if you send jobs to it, when noone is logged in and CUPS is running?

I just tried another job so I could check logs on it. Printing showed a printer error on the client, and as I was just starting to check the logs, the job printed.

It looks like the error was user impatience.

Marked as solved...

Interesting to read, so self-reflective ...
