Trying to print with CUPS from Chromebook through Debian box to USB printer

+1
−0

Hi everyone,

First post!

I'm trying to be able to print from a client machine over my lan to an older HP Laserjet 1012 connected via USB to a Debian box. It prints fine directly.

I've gone through many CUPS tutorials and made queues with the web interface and with lpadmin.

I did these basic things too: lpadmin -p NetworkLaserjet -o -printer-is-shared=true cupsctl --share-printers

The client machine is a chromebook (Chrome OS version 92). I saw on this google page for enterprise help that said over version 80 it was looking for ipps.

My lpinfo never shows any ipps:

Kevin@server:~$ /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
network socket
network beh
network ipp
file cups-brf:/
network http
network https
network lpd
network ipps
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
direct hp:/usb/hp_LaserJet_1012?serial=00CNFB153153
direct usb://HP/LaserJet%201012?serial=00CNFB153153
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
network smb
direct hpfax

nmapping the numeric ip address of the server has identical output on the server and client machine,but nmap doesn't list port 631 which I had expected because it's in cupsd.conf.

cupsd.conf:

LogLevel warn
PageLogFormat
MaxLogSize 0
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Listen 10.0.1.*:631
Browsing Yes
DefaultEncryption IfRequested

WebInterface Yes

<Location /admin/log>
  AuthType Default

  Order allow,deny
</Location>
<Policy default>
  JobPrivateAccess default
  JobPrivateValues default...

(followed by lots more Policies and Limits. Could post them if you think it's pertinent, but I didn't edit.)

Unsurprisingly when I put the server address, 10.0.1.29:631 into the Add Print Server form on the client Chromebook, it says "Couldn't detect the print server. Please check the address and try again."

Any help on what I'm missing is greatly appreciated. Thanks, kserwick
