I have recently upgraded my Mnadriva 2006 to Mandriva 2007 and found out that CUPS daemon doesn't run!
I have tried the following:
[root@localhost cups]# killall -HUP cupsd
[root@localhost cups]# /etc/init.d/cups restart
Stopping CUPS printing system: [ OK ]
Starting CUPS printing system: [ OK ]
Waiting for the CUPS daemon getting ready..............................
WARNING: CUPS daemon still not listening after 30 sec, aborting auto-admin tasks .
Here's my CUPS config file, cupsd.conf:
LogLevel info

Port 631

It's the default file that came with the installation. I haven't changed it.
Everytime I try to open my KDE printing module, I get the error:
Unable to retrieve the printer List. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that CUPS server is currently installed and running. Error: Connection Refused.

Can't seem to be able to find the problem. Any help?
I had the same problem after upgrading and solved it by adding ServerName <nameofthishost>
to client.conf.O
I don't know if this had anything to do with it but it seemed like the right thing to do: I also added "Allow from <ip address> to all the location paragraphs in cupsd.conf.O
