Hello i can now go in to my controll panel no problem i did have a couple of printers listed iv got rid of both of them iv uninstalled cups i know need to reinstall cups iv down loaded
"cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz"
iv typed
"gzip -d cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz"
iv now got
"cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tar"
iv typed
"tar xvf cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tar"
which created "etc/"
but i cant find a read me file to help me install it "ie" make,configure
download swaret and install it using installpkg. Once thats done, copt /etc/swaret.conf.new to /etc/swaret.conf and then edit it so that it points to the version of Slackware you are using. Then, run

don't use gzip etc....
download the .tgz file again and do " #installpkg cups-1.1.20-i486-1.tgz "
that's how packages can be installed in Slackware.
Originally posted by master iv done a little reading about cups iv read to type this command in to a terminal "/usr/sbin/cupsd"which will make sure cups is started i get a error message which says "cupsd: Child exited with status 98!"
can any body tell me what this means please
It means cups is already running so it stopped the second "child" process.
iv got slapt-get i used this command
"ot@localhost:/home/master# slapt-get --install cups
Reading Package Lists... Done
cups is up to date.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Done
root@localhost:/home/master# does this mean cups is installed and working or just installed and it still needs to be configured any way i then issued this command
"root@localhost:/home/master# cd /etc/rc.d"
"root@localhost:/etc/rc.d# chmod +x rc.cups"
i then went to both of the links above and received this error message.
"An error occurred while loading http://127.0.0.1:631:
Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1 (port 631)"
