I have installed CUPS on two separate machines (very different
machines, too) from the distribution disks in the Boxed set of
FreeBSD release 5.1. I can connect to the daemon on localhost:631
and read the documentation, BUT I can't do anything else. CUPS won't
even allow me to put in a new printer, and responds with an error
message page "Entity too large." The fact that this happens on two
different computers in exactly the same way means either that I am
doing something wrong in exactly the same way, or that there is
something wrong with the distribution. I have read the documentation
very carefully and tried to follow the examples exactly. No joy.
Perhaps you can give me some advice.
I have a laserjet on an LPT queue on my router, with address
192.168.2.1, with queue name lpt1. What should I be enterring for
the values of the name, location, and description for this device?
Alternatively, what would the line be to accomplish the addition of
this printer using lpadmin, please? If I'm doing this right, I'll
just build CUPS from the port, but I'd be willing to bet I'm doing
something wrong.
