I had such a problem in 9.0, after no problems since 7.1.  One thing
that caused this is an initscripts security update, which was fixed by a
subsequent update.  Some people had problems that were fixed by a new
foomatic.  These are the current versions where CUPS works for me:

initscripts-6.91-16.1mdk
foomatic-2.0.2-20021030.1.2mdk

Thanks Rolf, i have already updated my packages accordingly,
as well as edited the relevant config files. Still no luck.. i have
no way to get to configure CUPS via localhost:631 in Mandrake9.

Perahps i need a reboot? i have already restarted printing services
and all..

I can't think of what else, except to look around at www.linuxprinting.org or www.groups.google.com. FWIW, here is what was, for me, the problematic tail of cupsd.conf, as is now working:


## Anonymous access (default)
#AuthType None

## Require a username and password (Basic authentication)
#AuthType Basic
#AuthClass User

## Require a username and password (Digest/MD5 authentication)
#AuthType Digest
#AuthClass User

## Restrict access to local domain
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny From All
#Allow From .mydomain.com
#</Location>

<Location /admin>
#
# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who
# is a member of the system group to do any admin tasks. You can change
# the group name using the SystemGroup directive.
#

AuthType None
AuthClass System

## Restrict access to local domain
###Order Deny,Allow
###Deny From All
###Allow From 127.0.0.1

#Encryption Required
