- Debian = OS
- KDE 3.5.1 = Window Manager
When I go to
"Control Center > Peripherals > Printers"
Here Linux tries to look for the CUPS directory on my local workstation rather than our stand alone CUPS server. Of course I get this error because there are no CUPS directory on my local machine.
Look at this image and you will see the CUPS server defaults to "
LOCALHOST".
