Hi,
I'm having difficulty with cups. I successfully printed last night, and came down today, rebooted the PC and I cannot get cups to successfully connect.
I've started the daemon, and checked to see that it is active. It is. I am using the default cupsd.conf file. When I execute ./cups restart, the stop and start functions come up, displaying DONE.
ps -A | greps cups
shows cupsd active.
I am accustomed to using the KDE peripherals>printers manager. When I start it, it gives me Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: host not found.I found another thread about the recent upgradehttp://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=21781&highlight=cupsand reinstalled cups and the other scripts mentioned. Still haven't been able to get things going again.
Again, just FYI, this was working last night and I can't remember making any changes to the system.
Can anyone offer some advice?
Thx in advance! :?

Hi,
I found in cupsd.conf
# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
I commented out the last line and restarted cups. It's OK now.
Did this recently get updated? I didn't make this change...
