Hi

I really need to be able to print from Wordperfect 8/Linux real soon now
or I'm sunk. (essay deadlines etc)

With LM 7.2  Cups 1.1.4-7.1 local HP Deskjet520 on /dev/lp0 
stand-alone dial-up system, with loopback working.

I just can't get cups working properly. The kups program says can't connect
to server. I've managed to configure my deskjet via the web config tool
and the test page printed okay. I was also able to print from nedit. But
the setup just won't stick. The daemon just dies after a very short time
and my printer config is gone. Running chkconfing --list shows cups on at
the appropriate run-levels. If I run "service cups start" or
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/ cups start" I get an OK but if I immediately run lpinfo
-v I get "Unable to connect to server: connection refused. All this is
being done su'd to root with printer always on.

Running kupsdconf as root I get:

# QObject::connect: No such slot
CupsdServerSecurityPage::cleanupEventFilter()
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'unnamed')
QObject::connect:  (receiver name: 'unnamed')

I just spent the whole day reading all the docs, and trying everything
possible. I had updated cups using drakupdate and thought that may have
been screwy so I downloaded the three rpms, uninstalled cups (rpm-e
--nodeps), cleaned up the leftover directories, re-installed, and SNAFU.

I'm now completely out of ideas and out of steam. Used redhat for 4 years
and I'm starting to miss the old lpd.  :-(

Thanks in advance for any help.
Dave.
