Can't connect to CUPS
Hi,
I,m currently trying out the Zenwalk 6.4 Gnome edition. And I'd like to add my printer in CUPS, but when I try to connect to 'localhost:631', my browser gives me the message that it can't connect to CUPS -the server is to busy. I have CUPS installed - it's a standard install of Zenwalk-Gnome. I have also tried to reinstall CUPS with netpkg. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance! |
A couple of things to look at -- is CUPS running and is there only one instance running (there should only be one that will look something like this; yours may look slight different):
Code:
ps -ef | grep cups Code:
grep local /etc/hosts Code:
ping -c 5 localhost Have you looked in your system log (possibly /var/log/messages) to see if there's a problem. If any of those are goofy... Hope this helps some. |
Tronayne,
thanks for your fast reply. I discovered that the CUPS-service isn't initiated at boot-time, however it's initiation is mentioned in /etc/rc.d/rc.services. The question for me right now is, how to initiate it at boottime. Maybe it is a matter of post-install configuration in Zenwalk? |
Posted it twice:redface: Happens more often to me. Sorry.

I solved the problem by running serviceconfig as root and adding the cups-daemon als start-up service. This possibility escaped on my attention until just now. Problem solved!
|
Glad you got it -- I was in transit all day yesterday and didn't get a chance to respond until this morning.
