ok while waiting I had another look at my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
do you have these lines? # Only listen for connections from the local machine. Listen *:631 Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock then when I read authenication lines I remembered that I set mine up to allow all users, so maybe you need to su issue web browser command eg firefox, opera, konqueror then in address try http://localhost:631/ |

2) I just use the firewall provided by my D-Link wireless router, I don't think the router would affect connecting to myself though, considering I could connect to localhost:631 before Quote:

1) good to hear you could previously connect to localhost
2) have not researched your diffenent cups file but I am interested in that you have no software firewall and have a router firewall. I am now thinking, even tho I have a diff router, maybe you can look at those settings eg http://h1.ripway.com/aus9/router1.png http://h1.ripway.com/aus9/router2.png it does not take much to close off the web browser itself, I found out. So maybe, you can re-check your settings? 3) EDIT....oops I also meant for you to look deeper into your cups file at the authentication # Restrict access to the server... <Location /> Allow @LOCAL Order allow,deny Allow localhost </Location> |
ok a quick look at
http://www.cups.org/documentation.ph...upsd-conf.html can you post your full cups conf file please? 2) the other thing you could try is backup your file and use mine? http://h1.ripway.com/aus9/cupsd.conf but you will need to stop and restart this service |

some more lite reading for u
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...53#post3035253 I know u use slack and so unlikely to use Selinux but a number of distros have similar security tools...apparmor....bastille.....so you may be growing tired of me, but did you install or config any of these beasts? |
