I know this is BSD I'm asking about, not Linux. At least it's not Windows. :)
I've been working on CUPS all frickin' day, and part of yesterday besides. I got the web interface to respond around 6pm. I still can't get the server to respond. # lp lp: error - scheduler not responding! # lpinfo -v lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Can't assign requested address # lpr lpr: error - scheduler not responding! # lpadmin -p 5850 -E -v usb:/dev/ulpt0 -m HP-DeskJet_5850-hpijs.ppd lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Can't assign requested address http://jnork.nonken.net/images/Misc/Screenshot.jpg (The Cups utility I found and installed can't seem to see it, either.) I'm still looking, but most of the how-to and help pages and documents I've found so far either assume you've already got it working, or assume that once you follow their instructions, it works without a hitch. Being a bit new to all this (*nix in general, CUPS in particular) I find I'm at a loss. There's a copy of the CUPS error_log at http://jnork.nonken.net/downloads/error_log.txt if that helps any. Probably want to scroll to the end.... I mostly followed this: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15325 about up to the point where it said "The server can be configured with the aid of a web browser - simply point it at: http://localhost:631/admin"; when I got stalled for a while. I now have the web interface responding, but can't get any farther. If I try to add a printer via the web interface it gets as far as "Device" and then shows me a pull-down menu with nothing in it. I do seem to have managed to add a printer with this: # lpadmin -h aphrodite -p 5850 -E -v usb:/dev/ulpt0 -m HP-DeskJet_5850-hpijs.ppd plus root's password (it prompts me), but none of the other commands seem to be able to let me specify the server. It would be a bit awkward to have to supply the root password every time I tried to print something anyway.
