Description:

This bug seems to be similar to #31009.

It concerns the current version of cupsd (1.6.1-6) on two different machines (x86_64 and 686).

In my home network, one of my printers is connected to my living room PC (x86_64, Arch Linux). The option "Share printers connected to this system" in the web interface was set before the latest cups update. After the update my wife complained that she "no longer sees the printer" on her notebook (686, Arch Linux). I went in the Administration tab of the web interface and the tickmark was gone (which btw. would also be a bug that an update changes the config file...). So I ticked the box and received the message "please stand by while the server restarts", but it fails. After a few seconds I get the browser message that there is no connection to localhost:631.

Comparing the new config file with the original one is cumbersome, since cupsd strips all the comments etc. I don't see where the mistake in the config file written by cupsd is. Attached are the original, working config file ("cupsd.conf.bak") and the corrupt one written by cupsd ("cupsd.conf").

When I start cupsd manually, I get the same error message, as in error message  FS#31009 , but adding "Allow @LOCAL" options don't help.

------------
[root@wozi cups]# cupsd -f
Unknown directive DefaultAuthType on line 86.
cupsd: client.c:757: avahi_client_get_host_name: Assertion `client' failed.
Abgebrochen
------------

Removing the Unknown Directive DefaultAuthType (that btw. cups wrote this unkown directive into the config file, I had deleted it in the original, working config file...), doesn't help.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install cups
2. Use my cupsd.config.bak config file
3. start the server: /etc/rc.d/cupsd start
4. open browser with http://localhost:631
5. switch to Administration Tab
6. click the check box "Share printers connected to the system"
7. click on save configuration
8. see that the server fails to restart
