I've been trying to follow the CUPS wiki article however it seems as if I'm doing something wrong.
I've installed libcups and hplip, and ran "sudo hp-setup -i". I got to the end and it told me
Adding print queue to CUPS:
Device URI: hp:/usb/Deskjet_1000_J110_series?serial={redacted}
Queue name: Deskjet_1000_J110
PPD file: /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_1000_j110_series.ppd.gz
Location: Direct USB
Information:
error: Printer queue setup failed. Error : Unable to connect to CUPS server
My guess was that I forgot to start cups. So I run "sudo systemctl start cups", but it says "Failed to start cups.service: Unit cups.service failed to load: No such file or directory." Looking back at the wiki I noticed that I forgot to add my host name to /etc/cups/client.conf. When I open it with "sudo vim /etc/cups/client.conf" I see that there is something else there: /var/run/cups/cups.sock. I try commenting that out and putting in my host name, which I assume to be my computer's name and try again. However, that didn't work either.

If you are setting up cups for local usage (not a print server for other machines), the line concerning the socket in your config is right.
Anything else in the journal?
