cups after upgrade...

bhrich902 · 2006-06-27 00:39:52

after the upgrade it seems to have stopped working, eventhough i dont get any error when it starts. i checked the printers.conf file and it has the same printer i was using, i even tried to add it again through kcontrol but i get this:

"Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager: Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: host not found."

i checked hosts and rc.conf for host and everything seems to be like it was before the upgrade. i checked around the forum but the other cups issues didnt resemble mine. thx for any help.

THat is the error (one of them) I was getting with the latest version of cups.
Changing my hosts configuration fixed the problem.

# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip> <hostname> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 normlx
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

# End of file

I added the second line.

Err, isn't it supposed to be this?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost normlx

Maybe but it worked.

thx but that didn't work, my layout was:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain arch4

i changed it to:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

still didn't work, plus a problem with this layout is, as i predicted, that it prevents proftpd from starting because it needs the hostname where 'localhost' is. so is now im back to the layout i had (the one on top), thx though.

ps. as well as your sugestion gullible jones.

I tried it your way every thing still works both the printer which worked with the old version of cups and my scanner (combined HP printer scanner "HP PSC 1610") which didn't work at all.

Perhaps this post will help.

kmenu
Run Command
kprinter
System Options
Cups Server
Change the "Host:" to localhost

that would do it, thx everyone for the tips.
