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
root 1715 1 0 Aug03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Do you have appropriate entries in
/etc/hosts -- should look something like this
Code:
grep local /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
Can you
ping localhost
Code:
ping -c 5 localhost

Have you looked in the CUPS error log (it may be in
/var/log/cups).
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.
Happens more often to me. Sorry.
