I have disto-upgraded my Kanotix 2006-01 system up to date, including kde 3.5.7. Unfortunately, I am not able to create a printer. I get the following message when I try to test a page:
"Unable to create temporary printer."
If i proceed, I get the following massege:
"Unable to create printer. Error message received from manager:
server-error-internal-error"
I checked the /var/log/cups/error_log it says:
Code:
E [11/Jun/2007:19:24:43 +0000] Unable to find IP address for server name "my_host"!
E [21/Jun/2007:20:57:34 +0300] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized

E [21/Jun/2007:21:11:01 +0300] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
When I ping my_host I get the following:
Code:
root@1[knoppix]# ping my_host

How can I make cups discover that my_host is 127.0.0.1 as shown in the ping command?
My printer is HP laser jet 6P.
