Environment
OES 2018 SP1
OES 2018 SP2
Situation
Accessing iPrint objects using iManager results in a 403 Forbidden error
Resolution
Run this command:
a2enmod -l
If the access_compat Apache module shows within the list of loaded modules, then unload it by issuing these commands:
a2enmod -d access_compat;rcapache2 restart
Cause
In one scenario, the access_compat module was loaded while troubleshooting a different Apache issue. This module alters the way iPrint accesses Apache directories, resulting in problems for iPrint.
