Sure it is! I can visit that URL just fine. ;-) O lol/wait.

Do you have the cups packages installed?

Code:

jameson@salmon:~$dpkg -l | grep cups | grep Common
ii  cups                                       1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2                         Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server

cups is running?

Code:

jameson@salmon:~$sudo /etc/init.d/cups status
Status of Common Unix Printing System: cupsd is running.

firewall blocking port 631?

first line of /etc/hosts reads 127.0.0.1 localhost?

what's your distro? what cups? built from source? package? non-existant? etc?

... other?

Yeah, it's a really good idea to tell us your distro.

If it was Slackware, you would run, as root:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

Then you would be able to get http://localhost:631.

Check the permissions. The problem is likely that executable permissions are not set and you can set those with "chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups". See the man page for chmod for more info.
