Yes, I have been trying to get this worked out over the past several
weeks.
When in GNOME, I get the CUPS SERVER error and can not get in to
configure the printer. When in KDE, I can add a printer, print a test
page, but when trying to print from an application the only printer
choice I have is 'default'. I am unable to browse and select a printer.
Here are my files: cupsd.conf
#

# Sample configuration file for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS)
# scheduler. See man cupsd.conf for a complete description of this
# file.

All help will be appreciated as it has brought my business printing to a halt.
I have to boot into Windows to print.
