I am having major problems getting anywhere with cups. I have
occasionally and randomly been able to have the cupsd allow me to
to administration via the web. That's how I added a printer.
However, most of the time, I start the daemon and then when I try to
user either lpstat -t, or lpinfo -v I get this error
root@andromeda:/usr/sbin# lpinfo -v
lpinfo: cups-get-devices failed: server-error-service-unavailable
root@andromeda:/usr/sbin# lpstat -t
lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
....and then the cups daemon is gone!
Randomly I have been able to get it _not_ to die, like last night
at 2am, but I have no idea how. Today, nothing.
Here's my system
Slackware Linux 9.0
Kernel 2.4.20
Cups v1.2.0b1
Ghostscript 7.07.1
Canon BJC-210c using the Gimp-Print driver
PPD's are in the right place
I have the cups server set to localhost

This line is at the bottom of the log when I run lpinfo -v
D [23/Jan/2004:12:04:09 -0800] AcceptClient: 5 from localhost:631.
Also, the first time I try to login to localhost:631 after starting the
daemon I get Document contains no data. Subsequent attempts result in
Connection Refused.
The random times when the daemon does allow me to access the web-admin
interface, upon trying to print a test page it says everything is fine,
but nothing prints. Then, when
I check jobs it says job stopped. When I restart it, it says
"client-error blah blah" (I'd give the exact output, but once again I
can't even get to the web-admin page)
Ideas? I'm at my wit's end
Thanks
