Mike, What Linux distribution are you running? What is the output of "uname -a" and "rpm -qa | grep cups"?
If you are still stuck after Daniel's suggestion, try the following simple /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and let us know what happens: DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/doc/ LogLevel info Port 631 <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 127.0.0.2 </Location> <Location /admin> AuthType Basic AuthClass System Order Deny,Allow Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> I'm working on a redpaper, with Roy Costa of the ITSO, based on my Print Serving SHARE presentation. It's about 90% ready. We try to document both SLES-8 and RHEL-3. Mike, I took the liberty to send you one. If anyone else would like to review this paper (828KB), send me an e-mail off-line and I'll send you a PDF. I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM [EMAIL PROTECTED] (845) 433-7061 Mike Lovins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/08/2004 05:22 PM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject [LINUX-390] Error Start CUP service I am attempting to define a printer to my system but when I start to define the printer I get an error telling me that the CUP service is not started.
