CUPS problems

gsanchez · 2006-12-23 00:55:28

Hi to everyone.

I made a fresh installation of arch 0.8 from the base cd. Then i installed kde, firefox, alsa and cups. Everything was fine. But when i try to configure my printer through kde control center, this error messages appear:
"
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that cups server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason
"
The i tried to install and configure my printer (Epson Stylus Color C43UX - USB) using http://localhost:631, but the web cups couldn't find my printer in the available printer list

I don't use a firewall in my system.

That's my rc.conf:#

I use Fedora Core 6 and Open SUSE 10.1 and both correctly installed my printer

Any sugestions?

It's a arch related problem.
I've had the same configuration running in kubuntu, which actually worked.
This error exists for some month now, nobody cares as it seems.
I've tried to find a patch related to this, but still - simply dont know why it isn't working.

The patch which is everywhere mentioned to fix this issue is included in the current arch package (post-kde-3.5.5.patch includes that the setTimeout is set to 1500 instead of 1), though, it still doesn't seem to work.

Also, i tried setting the kde printer configuration to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, which seems to have fixed the issue for some ubuntu users - also, no effect.

I'm searching and searching for a solution of this, not very lucky as it seems.

I just added an entry to the arch wiki that describes howto get it to work with kde

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP … r_Settings

[EDIT] Update: Well, it seems like it just looked like it would work, but it doesn't Has been removed already

Well, maybe it started working again since the last time i ran kde in arch, but for me, printing has been broken for _several_ months now. I just did a fresh install, and guess what - It still doesn't work.

Since I upgraded my KDE to 3.5.6 this error no longer occurred!

Will you please update the thread title with [SOLVED] please?
