Printer questoin

Hi all

I am attempting to get network printing set up, I read the howto posted above and am having some problems:

I did

Code:

PRINTING
#apt-get install cupsys cupsys-bsd

In mozilla, go to this address and configure printer:

http://localhost:631

but cannot go to localhost:631. netstat -lpn does not show anything listening on 631.

doing the following gives me:

/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with status 99!

anyone know what i need to do to get this to work? I am trying to print to a network server, which is just an ip address.

By default, it listens on localhost while here you have 0a0b0c0d?? 10.11.12.13 ? humm

Have you modified /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?
what gives:

Code:

grep Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

grep Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

grep Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# You can have multiple Port/Listen lines to listen to more than one
# Listen hostname
# Listen hostname:80
# Listen hostname:631
# Listen 1.2.3.4
# Listen 1.2.3.4:631
# must have at least one Port or Listen line that allows access from the

doesnt appear to be configured i guess.
