imac on lan, printing to f14: network host '192.168.2.8' is busy, will retry in 30 seconds
I recently got help from this list and was able to print from imac on my lan to an hp printer connected to my f14 box.
Now, yet another problem trying to print from an imac on my lan to the same laserjet, but now used by another version of f14 [root@f14 ~]# uname -r 2.6.35.14-97.fc14.i686
this new version of f14 is one I just recently installed from downloaded iso, using hardisk install, all of that went smoothly. But I must have messed up the cups config somehow.
The imac sees the printer, but response is "... is busy, will retry..."
Dialog screen when clicking on the bounceing printer icon on the imac: printer ready connecting to printer
network host '192.168.2.8' is busy, will retry in 30 seconds ----
from lpstat on the imac: iMacg5:~ carole$ lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: HP-LaserJet-2200 device for HP-LaserJet-2200: ipp://192.168.2.8:631/printers/HP-LaserJet-2200 HP-LaserJet-2200 accepting requests since Fri Oct 14 10:04:10 2011 printer HP-LaserJet-2200 is idle. enabled since Fri Oct 14 10:04:10 2011 Connecting to printer... iMacg5:~ carole$
advice? Jack
It sounds like port 631 is closed in Fedora Firewall. Did you check that?
You should see cups admin page at http:\your-fedora-ip:631

General CUPS/IPP notes:
On the CUPS server computer, the firewall must be opened to allow network printing service. This allows UDP and TCP traffic over port 631, over your network interface. Fedora has a preset option for this in its firewall control panel. If you have more than one interface, it needs to be applied to the one your other computers connect with.
On any of the client computers, the firewall must be opened to allow network printing clients. This allows UDP traffic over port 631. Fedora has a preset option for this in its firewall control panel.
The CUPS server needs configuring to allow sharing of its printers, and the setting up of the printer connected to it. If it can print a test page, then any client should be able to.
The CUPS clients shouldn't need any configuring of their CUPS service, and attempting to do so can cause problems. They should simply find the available printers on the network, when the above three conditions are set up. The only printing configuring that should be necessary, is choosing a printer to print to, when you try printing from a program. But, if there's only one printer on the network, it should get automatically chosen as the printer to use.
Not knowing how the iMac reports its errors. I couldn't say whether its "it's busy" error message means it couldn't get any TCP/IP traffic through the network to try and print, or it has got through to the print server, and the message is that the printer (or printer server) is busy.
You can look at the print servers logs, to see if some attempt is getting through to it.
