Can't Access CUPS localhost:631???
Hi there,
I'm trying to configure one network printer fom my company, playing arround with cups, but not with good results!!! I'm trying with FC10, but I can get some info from the printer through a win box ahere it is working fine. In short: - I can ping its IP from the FC computer - I know its published name - I can ping the server where the printer is connected (from the Intranet!) My first problem is that, when I try to issue: http://127.0.0.1:631/ or http://127.0.0.1:631/admin I have The following error: Quote:
AND the 127.0.0.1 turns into my ip local address, i.e, 172.xx.xx.xx!?? Please ley me have some HELP on this issue THANKS frank |
Hi again,
I already tried: 1) changing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to Allow both localhost and my IP: Quote:

Any more ideas?? TKX frank |
Is the cups daemon running?
To check: "ps -e|grep cups" in a terminal If not, start the daemon using "cupsd" in a terminal (as root) If this is the issue, you will then need to setup your init files to start the cups daemon. |
Hi,
I think the deamon is running. The result of the command is: Quote:

Thanks frank |
Are you doing this from a different machine? If so, you need to put
172.20.4.31:631 into your browser (or whatever the correct IP is) |
Hi,
Thanks, I did try to issue the local IP directly on firefox, both as a user and root (running firefox from a root terminal window). I did allow the local IP on the hosts.allow file (on a box above) I also checked port 631 on localhost: Quote:
Now I tried to remove the network cable from my computer and issue 127.0.0.1:631 , and the message "loading..." just stays there without any result. As soon as I connect the cable on the back of the computer, 127.0.0.1 is converted into my local IP and the Network Error message appears!! Where is 127.0.0.1 converted into my local IP? Am I right trying to have it running fist without any connection,i.e., 127.0.0.1:631 without cable? I beleive CUPS config is running locally, so it should work, right? PLEASE some more ideas!!! Thanks again frank |
It shouldn't be really. What does "ifconfig" give you?

From the error message, I feel like you are behind a proxy, probably a bluecoat. Check your browser setting and remove the proxy setting or add 127.0.0.1 and localhost to the no-proxy list.

Hi,
YES, I'm behind a proxy. This is a corporate computer from which I have access to the printer when I boot on Win, but not with FC10. Removing the proxy settings on the browser, I have access to CUPS configuration page!! I'll try to configure the printer now!! THANKS!!! frank |
