Attempt to connect to Cups server."Server Error"
Hi,
I have been printing OK.(Local printer, FC6 OS with gnome environment)I was having trouble trying to get the printer to cancel a print. I went to the Printer configuration part of FC6 and tried un-ticking the "Enable" checkbox so that the printer was not accepting jobs.This didn't work but when I went to reverse what I had done I couldn't connect to the Cups server again. I got the following messages "Cups Server Error There was an error during Cups operation. http Connection Encrypt failed" and later I tried again & received this msg. "Cups Server Error There was an error during Cups operation server error-service unavailable" Ive tried putting "http://localhost:631" and "http://127.0.0.1:631" in the Firefox browser but get a message "Unable to connect" I tried the following command as root "/sbin/service cups restart" and received Stopping cups [Failed] Starting cups [OK] I checked the error_log but don't really know what to look for. Has anyone got any ideas what I may have done wrong or how to fix it? |
egrep -C 3 "^[Ee]" error_log
Those lines (ones that start with an e) indicate an error. Cheers, Tink |
Thanks Tinkster.
I tried what you said and got the message. "Unable to open job control file" /var/spool/cups/c00027" no such file or dir. Where do I go from here? |
fixed now; not sure why
I tried changing back from static IP adress to DHCP and I've now got connection with the CUPS server and am printing again. I don't quite see the logic but it's working again. Thanks
Bye Regards richag77 |
