CUPS "client-error-not-possible"
I have a network printer and my machine recently stopped being able to print, other machines can print fine. Besides having to use root to change its settings, when I try to change its settings I get the following error:
CUPS "client-error-not-possible"
.
Many forum threads suggest installing smbclient
to solve the issue, but I already have it installed.
Installing samba
, smbclient
and running
sudo sed -i '/^\[global]/aclient max protocol = SMB3' /etc/samba/smb.conf
did the trick. Not sure if the last part is necessary though.
My issue was having entered lpd://printer.printland.com
instead of just printer.printland.com
in the Host field of gnome-printer-config
.
On Ubuntu 19.04, installing the smbclient solves the problem. So, open a terminal and run the following command :
sudo apt-get install smbclient
