I get an error creating the printer under ArcaOS 5.0.1 even after updating to latest released libraries with ANPM.

Will attach cupswiz logs.

Cups GUI allows me to modify printer with driver, but gives error while printing. I will window capture.

Not sure if this is a bug or configuration issue...

I have a printer attached to a CUPS 1.4.8 server (HP DeskJet? 990C with HPLIP) on eCS 2.1 that works well. I can print from remote eCS clients to the server using a CUPS output port on the printer object.

Now I need to have CUPS installed locally on the clients (for QT and Java apps). I need to be able to print to the local CUPS and have that sent to the CUPS running on the server with the printer. I have tried setting up the CUPS printer on the clients using the ipp:// backend, but trying to print the test page just hangs 'processing page 1' forever, and no print job gets to the server. Trying the ​http:// backend always results in 'http backend failed' messages.

I also tried using Alex Taylors 'CupsWiz?' program (in eCS 2.2 beta) on a client to install the printer, and after selecting my printer from the list offered, the program hangs 'Looking for connected printers. Please wait...'. Then a VX-REXX window appears that says: 'Password for unknown on 192.168.0.2?' (the CUPS server with the printer). There is no password (that I know of) so this is a bit baffling. CUPSWIZ is hung and must be killed.

When printing a 4x6 photo from PMView, the print never leaves the OS/2 printing subsystem, its job status is "Forms Mismatch". The form name is there reported as "w288h432/4x6".
Setup details:
Cups settings via browser: Cups 1.4.8, printer name "CupsPhoto?", driver printer "Canon PIXMA iP4000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 (color, 2-sided printing)", media=oe_w228h432_4x6in
Printer settings in OS/2: driver "Canon PIXMA IP4000", job properties: paper 4x6, output port localhost:CupsPhoto[[BR]]

This was working properly before (Cups 1.4.6), I suspect it might have to do with the printer definition in Gutenprint; old versions of Gutenprint had a seperate file for each printer, now the definitions are generated as needed . Note that the "media" type in Cups is not literally the same as the form name in OS/2.
