server-error-internal-error when doing "Configure Printer"

[Anonymous]

I am having a strange problem with cups-1.1.20 on Slackware-10.0.
I have a no. of PCs here with the above software and some do not give me the server-error-internal-error message when I attempt to "Configure Printer" while others do. I turned on "debug" LogLevel and this message seems to indicate the problem:
D [11/Aug/2004:08:59:10 +0200] SendError() 10 code=403 (Forbidden)
This code=403 looks like an http error but I'm not sure what CUPS is trying to tell me exactly. Can someone help me with this?
Also, as an aside, I have tested the ppd files I am using with "cupstestppd" and I am puzzled by the results because even those ppd files that fail seem to work. I am using ppds that came with the setup cds for the printers, as foomatic ppds are not available for all of them.
This leads me to the following question:
Is it better to use the ppd distributed with the OEM software or the foomatic ppd if it is available?

Are you configuring via port 631? - I have this problem
very often, here with my Suse8.2 when klicking on "Modify
Printer" on localhost:631 -> printer. (same problem ob
remote machines). As windoze-like workaround: klick on
"configure printer" this works more often. When you reached
the configure-mask, then go back and klick on "Modify
Printer". Then "Modify Printer" works, too.

Are you mixing Listen and SSLListen directives in cupsd.conf? I think it might be a bug... I read somewhere that it was fixed in the latest CUPS (1.1.22 at time of writing), but I'm sufering the same problem too... :o(
