Situation

When attempting to create a Driver Store object using iManager, the following error is returned:

Error: Create Driver Store Failure
Driver Store could not be configured: Request (SERVER_ERROR) - bad status code (0X500)
iPrint Lib Error: 0x1000001
IPP Error: 0x500

The Apache error log (/var/log/apache2/error_log) shows the following error:

mod_ipp: Error performing operation IDS_DELETE_CONFIG: unable to get data back from /opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprintcnfg program

The following error occurs when attempting to install an iPrint printer (assuming the Driver Store was previously created).

Resolution

Follow these steps while logged in as root to the iPrint Linux terminal:

    • ls -l /opt/novell/iprint/bin/
      • If the rights and/or groups shows as follows, continue with step 2.
      • -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 14208 Dec 8 2005 iprintcnfg
      • -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 3060 Dec 8 2005 iprintcnfgproxy
  2. Type the following commands:
    • chgrp www iprintcnfg
    • chgrp www iprintcnfgproxy
    • chmod u+s iprintcnfg
  3. The two binary files should now look like the two files below:
