CUPS installed in Gentoo but unable to access web admin tool
Hi,
I have gentoo installed and I have also gone ahead and ran emerge for cups. Whenever I open a browser, galeon or mozilla, and type http://localhost:631 or http://localhost:631/admin or 127.0.0.1:631 I also get an error saying connection attempt refused. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks, UPDATE: I checked and my port 631 is closed, do I have to have this open? |
Is cupsd running? Try 'ps -e | grep cups'
If it's not running you can start it with 'cupsd' but you should check to see if Gentoo has a prettier startup script for it and that it will run on the next boot. |
You need to do "rc-update add cupsd default" and then run "/etc/init.d/cupsd start". That should start what you need.

I started cups and now it works, I will look into that startup script.
Thanks for all the help. |
I can get cups going put when I go to install I get a client-error-not-possible, the same thing happens when I do it in the command line also.
root@gentoo darinf # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet -E -v parallel:/dev/lpr -m laserjet.ppd lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible anyone have any ideas on this? |
