Debian unstable, CUPS 1.4.1: Sharing printers
Configuring a shared printer with CUPS is something quite easy. Nevertheless, it appears that I haven’t been able to print from a Mac OS X client (I haven’t tried from any other client OS).
Trying to print a document from the client has lead to the following type of error message:
E [29/Oct/2009:22:35:23 +0100] Request from "client ip address" using invalid Host: field "servername.domain"
To fix this, add the following to the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file:
ServerAlias *
and restart CUPS:
root@servername~# /etc/init.d/cups restart
Enjoy

This bug still exists in CUPS 1.4.4 released with Ubuntu 10.10.Even after adding "ServerAlias *" I'm unable to edit the configuration file through the web interface because there is no way to authenticate.
