Hi I some how appear to have mucked up the CUPS printing facility on my box (probably due to some configuration error I must have made recently). It was working fine before. The symptom appears to be that the daemon cannot bind to the socket (port 631 I suppose).
Anyone any idea what could be going wrong (or suggestion on how to narrow down the problem further)?
