The odd thing is, it had that error before in the log and it worked fine, any ideas?
well printers are desinged to fail.....ink dries up....heads get clogged so it could be a hardware issue = dead printer.
2) have you opened a web browser and just gone into address
localhost:631......if cups service is enabled and listening....you should get the cups home page...then click on printers and see what it reports
Well, typically thing don't just happen out of the blue like that (except of course hardware failure, but that's the last thing to assume). Did you do anything before this happened ? Upgrade anything, change anything ?

No, cups is not running because of that error, I should have made myself more clear, my bad

Well the last major thing I did before that is upgrade dropline gnome, but I remember printing stuff after I did that, so I doubt that is the problem
I doubt that it is a hardware failure because that shouldn't stop cups from running, AFAIK
ok with root powers go into
/var/run/cups/certs and see if you have a file, mine is called 0 (zero) and has a string
BE3F54183E87C68EC26E86A5748A77D2
2) I disagree on your assertion that cups is not running.
did you try to connect to it as.your third last line shows cups is listening on localhost

3) also look at /var/run/cups I have a file called 'cups.sock' which is the socket file.
1) Yes I do have a file in there and its 21E65052089F9759C254FCD8409945D6
2)I cannot connect to localhost:631
3)yes I have a file called cups.sock in /var/run/cups
bash-3.1# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
cups: started scheduler. [ OK ]
bash-3.1#
the log messages I posted in post #1

I have not made any changes to my firewall that I can think off, I change my router configuration recently but the router shouldn't effect it and this was after this started happening
