[Bug 1342497] Re: Adding CP400 printer gives "client-error-not-possible" error

 

Well, sheesh.  I had tried adding the printer in the cups interface, but
no matter what I did, it wouldn't accept my password.  This time, I got
right in and added the printer, no problem.

After adding it in the cups interface, I deleted it and tried adding it
through system-config-printer and got the same error as before.

I then did your Step 2 and was able to set up the printer with system-
config-printer just fine.

So, both your methods worked and this is resolved.  Let me know if
there's anything else you need from me.

Thank-you!

Merle

  Appears to find the drivers and gets to the New Printer page.  Hitting
  Apply button gives:

  CUPS Server Error: There was an error during the CUPS operation:
  'client-error-not-possible'.

  Once it created a greyed out printer icon with what looked like a
  vertical = sign over it.  Every other time, it simply gives the error.
