DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. INSTEAD, POST ANY RESPONSES TO THE LINK BELOW. [STR New] I have the following setup: Ubuntu 10.04 server with CUPS v1.4.3 Network printer, installed on the server as hp:/net/Officejet_6500_E709n?ip=<printer-ip>, and published by the server to the network via cups Ubuntu 12.04 client running CUPS v1.5.3 with the cups option to show printers shared by other machines. The network printer then appears as ipp://<server-ip>:631/printers/<name> on the client machine When I print to this printer, the job fails with "Unable to add document to print job" I found two ways to work around this: If I install the network printer on the client directly with hp-setup it will be listed as hp:/net/Officejet_6500_E709n?ip=<printer-ip> and printing works fine If on the client I turn off the option in cups to show printers shared by other machines, and use the system-config-printer "Add printer" dialog to instead add the printer shared by the server, setting the ipp14 backend manually, it shows up as ipp14://<server-ip>:631/printers/<name> and printing also works fine. But since the server does page accounting to bill the printed pages to different users, both workarounds are not an option. Link: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4182 Version: 1.5.3
