CUPS

#1 Post by Dud »

Attempting to configure CUPS by either gui route fails with:

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:631

/usr/share/doc/cups/ appears to be incomplete as well.

Ideas?

Oops, this was meant to go to the precise thread - so read Puppy version as Precise Puppy 5.4. Might as well leave it here pro-tem.

Works for me. How are you booting? From the Live CD or from an install?

What other stuff have you installed?

Live CD

Vanilla, the first thing I've tried to configure. I've just noticed that localhost is unreachable* so I'll take a look at the hosts file. I'm posting from the machine in question btw so mostly it just works.

*Edit: Well, it pings OK.

I would boot again off the Live CD. At the short initial pause, type the boot option "puppy pfix=ram". Then try the CUPS wizard again.

OK, that worked and it survived a fresh save and reboot.

Ta.

I wonder why ..?

You might have installed from the PPM or possibly from outside some .deb which has modified some permissions in CUPS needed files. There are certain files which need to have right user:group names that the CUPS works.

Maybe some browser .deb ? They are famous of braking Puppy CUPS.
