PfSense as a Print Server
-
I have looked on line and through the forums and have not been able to find an easy way to make PFSense a print server as well, considering most of the posts were also from 2007. Does anyone know of a way to do so, I just have simply run out of machines and want to use an old USB printer, canon i560.

Yes. Install the Cups package for the underlying version of FreeBSD in use. Details on how to do that can be found by searching the forum for "pkg_add".

Installed the package and I cant access 192.168.1.1:631 what do I do?
-
Have you checked that your firewall rules allow access to port 631 on the host?
Have you read the CUPS documentation? Is it listening on 192.168.1.1?

Actually I just fixed up my configuration. and now: 403 Forbidden
EDIT:
Default authentication type, when authentication is required…
DefaultAuthType Basic
Restrict access to the server...
<location>Order allow,deny
Allow localhost
Allow @LOCAL</location>Restrict access to the admin pages...
<location admin="">Order allow,deny
Allow @LOCAL</location>Restrict access to configuration files...
<location admin="" conf="">AuthType Default
Require user @SYSTEM
Order allow,deny
Allow @LOCAL</location>Its running!
