Comment 0 for bug 1086303

As we know ubuntu binds the following

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 hostname

We assume that my hostname is afterburner

Cups listens by default to localhost - 127.0.0.1 so if you try to access it using your hostname it fails so i proceed as follows

In the cupsd.conf

If i comment out the " port 631 " and add

Listen afterburner:631

im getting bad request when trying to open http://afterburner:631

The same is happening with the

Listen 127.0.1.1:631

All this happening when trying to access cups webpage form the pc that running the cups , if you try to access the cups server form a lan pc using the http://afterburner:631 it works even with the default config.

So my question is why using all the different configurations im not able to access cups webpages from the same pc using the hostname ?

http://afterburner:631

I can only access cups from the same pc using

http://127.0.0.1:631
http://127.0.1.1:631

when using the default cupsd.conf that listens to "port 631"
