CUPS error in Slackware 12
 
Hello,

My printer was working fine until one day, it stopped working :(, its a Canon PIXMA iP1600, here is the error log
Code:

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
I [19/Feb/2008:16:02:32 -0800] Listening to 127.0.0.1:631 on fd 0

3) also look at /var/run/cups I have a file called 'cups.sock' which is the socket file.

AceofSpades19 02-20-2008 11:02 PM
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

"ps -e | grep cupsd" to see if cups is in fact running.

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

What error messages/log messages?

Brian

aus9 02-21-2008 01:09 AM
yeah good one Brian

plus did you make any changes to your firewall, I still think cups is listening but you can not get to it.

aus9 02-21-2008 01:14 AM
just found this which may be useful for slackers

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

Code:
su
ifconfig
should give at least the loopback ......127.0.0.1 and maybe the ethernet device.

ok thanks for that, your local is the same as mine, I use wired ethernet and you have wide lan I assume.

lets go back to your cups error.

try
http://localhost:631/

http://h1.ripway.com/aus9/cups.png

then re-run ifconfig with root powers and your counts should increase.

EDIT

I mean the TX and RX should increase and have no errors

2) Can you name your firewall please and with some firewalls you can see their rulesets.
