Re: [gentoo-user] Cups Quandry

[Jose Gonzalez Gomez]

Ernie,     I had some problems with cups and several related packaged some time ago and I finally opted for reemerging an old version. My problems were related to printing (maybe something broken in drivers) so I'm sorry I cannot offer any help to you. Anyway if you cannot afford to lose more time you may go to an prior version.     Regards Ernie Schroder wrote: HMMM, 18 replies to my original thread and all with a different subject. Kevin, PLEASE start a new thread for new subjects. I'm still at a loss to get my printer working. Since my previous post, I've re-emerged foomatic as well. A reboot gave the same child error as before (see below) but now, zapping cupsd and then starting it and restarting it run without error. Trying to access cups at MRK:631 now gives me: Forbidden You don't have permission to access the resource on this server. This seems as though it might hold the key but I have no idea where to look. I also get the same errors as before if I try the kde rout to configure a printer.

I believe that the problem started at the last cups update. (somewhere around 8/4/03) It is a USB HP deskjet 932 and worked fine until then. After re-emerging the above apps, I attempted to restart cups and got the !! next to "stopping cupsd" So, I rebooted. during the boot sequence, I saw the following message: starting cupsd [OK] cupsd: Child exited with status 99! # cupsdconf [returns] Unable to retrieve configuration file from the CUPS server. You probably don't have the access permissions to perform this operation. opening the printer section of the KDE Control Center gives the following error in a pop up window: Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager: Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused. I can't get into the web based cups page either. typing MRK:631 in a browser takes me to some arbitrary web page on the outside, though Ernie:631 on the other box works. It looks like I have something messed up somewhere but I can't figure it out. Anyone have an idea?
