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. --------- 18-Dec-2000 04:12:39 ---------
