CUPS error: 'client-error-bad-request'.

Asked by Merlin Emrys

After successfully installing a network printer, I am trying to share it, but get this error:

    There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-bad-request'.

This problem did not exist until I installed Ubuntu 16.04.

FWIW, I can mark a local printer as shared, but not the network one. I used the ipp protocol for setup.

I can print to the networked printer even though it not shared (it is attached to my computer), but no others on my LAN can print to it.

If you install samba it will be shared

I have installed samba, and changed /etc/samba/smb.cnf to:

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = yes
   path = /var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700

but I still cannot get the share option to work. It gives the error message as above.

I followed the instruction on one of the Ubuntu help pages.
