Trying to add printer and get error message: client-error-not-possible

Post by supmethods » 2022/06/25 05:38:31

Hi

I am trying to add an Epson Workforce 435 to my virtual machine but I get the error message "CUPS Server Error - There was an error during CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'" . The printer is from a Windows 10 share.

Here is my error log (/var/log/cups/error_log)

After installing samba-client, I was able to add the printer.

Code: Select all

yum -y install samba samba-client cifs-utils
I now have a different problem. The test page has a status of "Held for authentication".
