As a result my localhost:631/admin screen lacks this Kerberos checkbox. This condition is still present in CUPS 1.4.3 according to the Makefile at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/cups-base/ I need Kerberos support in order to use CUPS to print to a network printer here. As a workaround, I was able to use a co-workers MacOS X system which was running CUPS to print to the same printer. This Mac was upgraded to MacOS 10.6.4 today, and this workaround failed. :-( So I am back to trying to use CUPS on FreeBSD to talk directly to the network printer, but without the Kerberos feature, I am locked out. Upgrading to CUPS 1.4.3 is unlikely to give me Kerberos support. It seems FreeBSD has Kerberos support in base at /usr/src/kerberos5. But I don't see how to bridge this gap. FWIW, using CUPS 1.3.10 in the Fall of 2009, I did have Kerberos support (via GSSAPI) and I was able to talk directly to the network printer. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to consider trying? Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu 72 characters width template ----------------------------------------->|
