I am running Fedora5 with Gnome and got to this bug sheet by Google
/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket failed
I have been frustrated with Cups on Gnome for a long time - I don“t really know
what the problem is, but my solution for hung print queue is to go into the
print dialogs via http://localhost:631/ and turn off (sometimes is already off)
and then start the affected printer. This seems to do the trick.
My printer is a HP 2100/M/TN and I am using jetdirect with
ipp://xxx.xxx:9100/ to connect.
