| Do you already have a print server installed - for example cups? This would be my recommendation. |

I set mine up using the KDE tools. There's a printer setup tool in KDE (I'm not at my computer to give specifics) that allows you to setup your network printer. It's really straight forward. Make sure CUPS is running, and as you go through the "wizard", tell it that you want to setup a network printer, select the printer type, specify it's IP, etc.
I do sometimes have issues with CUPS and such, but usually, it just works. It's much easier than the command-line tools.

Im haveing a time trying to figure this out
| Code: | CUPS configuration file, generated by CUPS configuration tool.
# This tool is part of KDEPrint, the printing framework for KDE
# since version 2.2.2 and is used by the CUPS supporting module
# in KDEPrint. The predecessors to KDEPrint in former KDE releases
# were KUPS and QtCUPS; they are deprecated and no longer maintained.
#
# Author: Michael Goffioul
#
# Web site: http://printing.kde.org/
#
########################################################################
# #
# This is the CUPS configuration file. If you are familiar with #
# Apache or any of the other popular web servers, we've followed the #
# same format. Any configuration variable used here has the same #
# semantics as the corresponding variable in Apache. If we need #
# different functionality then a different name is used to avoid #
# confusion... #
# #
########################################################################
#
# Server
# Server name (ServerName)
#
# The hostname of your server, as advertised to the world.
# By default CUPS will use the hostname of the system.
#
# To set the default server used by clients, see the client.conf file.
#
# ex: myhost.domain.com
#
#ServerName myhost.domain.com
# Server administrator (ServerAdmin)
#
# The email address to send all complaints or problems to.
# By default CUPS will use "root@hostname".
#
# ex: root@myhost.com
#
#ServerAdmin root@your.domain.com
# Classification (Classification)
#
# The classification level of the server. If set, this
# classification is displayed on all pages, and raw printing is disabled.
# The default is the empty string.
#
# ex: confidential
#
#Classification classified
Classification none
# Allow overrides (ClassifyOverride)
#
# Whether to allow users to override the classification
# on printouts. If enabled, users can limit banner pages to before or
# after the job, and can change the classification of a job, but cannot
# completely eliminate the classification or banners.
#
# The default is off.
#
#ClassifyOverride off
# Default character set (DefaultCharset)
#
# The default character set to use. If not specified,
# defaults to utf-8. Note that this can also be overridden in
# HTML documents...
#
# ex: utf-8
#
#DefaultCharset utf-8
DefaultCharset UTF-8
# Default language (DefaultLanguage)
#
# The default language if not specified by the browser.
# If not specified, the current locale is used.
#
# ex: en
#

# access. The default varies depending on the operating system, but
# will be sys, system, or root (checked for in that order).
#
# ex: sys
#
#SystemGroup sys
SystemGroup lp
# Encryption certificate (ServerCertificate)
#
# The file to read containing the server's certificate.
# Defaults to "/etc/cups/ssl/server.crt".

# You can have multiple Port/Listen lines to listen to more than one
# port or address, or to restrict access.
#
# Note: Unfortunately, most web browsers don't support TLS or HTTP Upgrades

# Browsing
# Use browsing (Browsing)
#
# Whether or not to listen to printer
# information from other CUPS servers.
#
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#
# Note: to enable the sending of browsing
# information from this CUPS server to the LAN,
# specify a valid BrowseAddress.
#
#
# ex: On
#
#Browsing On
Browsing On
# Browse protocols (BrowseProtocols)
#
# Which protocols to use for browsing. Can be
# any of the following separated by whitespace and/or commas:
#
# all - Use all supported protocols.
# cups - Use the CUPS browse protocol.
# slp - Use the SLPv2 protocol.
#
# The default is cups.
#
# Note: If you choose to use SLPv2, it is strongly recommended that
# you have at least one SLP Directory Agent (DA) on your
# network. Otherwise, browse updates can take several seconds,
# during which the scheduler will not response to client
# requests.
#
#BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseProtocols CUPS
# Browse port (BrowsePort)
#
# The port used for UDP broadcasts. By default this is
# the IPP port; if you change this you need to do it on all servers.
# Only one BrowsePort is recognized.
#
# ex: 631
#
#BrowsePort 631
BrowsePort 631
# Browse interval (BrowseInterval)
#
# The time between browsing updates in seconds. Default
# is 30 seconds.
#
# Note that browsing information is sent whenever a printer's state changes
# as well, so this represents the maximum time between updates.
#
# Set this to 0 to disable outgoing broadcasts so your local printers are
# not advertised but you can still see printers on other hosts.
#
# ex: 30
#
#BrowseInterval 30
BrowseInterval 30
# Browse timeout (BrowseTimeout)
#
# The timeout (in seconds) for network printers - if we don't
# get an update within this time the printer will be removed
# from the printer list. This number definitely should not be
# less the BrowseInterval value for obvious reasons. Defaults
# to 300 seconds.
#
# ex: 300
#
#BrowseTimeout 300
BrowseTimeout 300
# Browse addresses (BrowseAddress)
#
# Specifies a broadcast address to be used. By
# default browsing information is broadcast to all active interfaces.
#
# Note: HP-UX 10.20 and earlier do not properly handle broadcast unless
# you have a Class A, B, C, or D netmask (i.e. no CIDR support).
#
# ex: x.y.z.255, x.y.255.255
#
#BrowseAddress x.y.z.255
#BrowseAddress x.y.255.255
#BrowseAddress x.255.255.255
# Browse order (BrowseOrder)
#
# Specifies the order of BrowseAllow/BrowseDeny comparisons.
#
# ex: allow,deny
#
#BrowseOrder allow,deny
#BrowseOrder deny,allow
BrowseOrder allow,deny
# Implicit classes (ImplicitClasses)
#
# Whether or not to use implicit classes.
#
# Printer classes can be specified explicitly in the classes.conf
# file, implicitly based upon the printers available on the LAN, or
# both.
#
# When ImplicitClasses is On, printers on the LAN with the same name
# (e.g. Acme-LaserPrint-1000) will be put into a class with the same
# name. This allows you to setup multiple redundant queues on a LAN
# without a lot of administrative difficulties. If a user sends a
# job to Acme-LaserPrint-1000, the job will go to the first available
# queue.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#ImplicitClasses Off
ImplicitClasses On
# Use "any" classes (ImplicitAnyClasses)
#
# Whether or not to create AnyPrinter implicit
# classes.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is On and a local queue of the same name
# exists, e.g. "printer", "printer@server1", "printer@server1", then
# an implicit class called "Anyprinter" is created instead.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is Off, implicit classes are not created
# when there is a local queue of the same name.
#
# Disabled by default.
#
#ImplicitAnyCLasses Off
ImplicitAnyClasses Off
# Hide implicit members (HideImplicitMembers)
#
# Whether or not to show the members of an
# implicit class.
#
# When HideImplicitMembers is On, any remote printers that are
# part of an implicit class are hidden from the user, who will
# then only see a single queue even though many queues will be
# supporting the implicit class.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#HideImplicitMembers On
HideImplicitMembers Yes
# Use short names (BrowseShortNames)
#
# Whether or not to use "short" names for remote printers
# when possible (e.g. "printer" instead of "printer@host"). Enabled by
# default.

You should change | Code: | | Listen *:localhost:631 |
to | Code: | | Listen localhost:631 |
You could also check that the address 192.168.0.200 (on the line following "localhost") is the IP address of the box you are running cupsd on because it goes on to say | Code: | | StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address c0a800c8:631 - Cannot assign requested address. |
and c0a800c8 is 192.168.0.200.

If this is the address of your printer then cupsd should not be trying to listen to it, it can only listen to addresses that the computer it is running on has.
Try removing the line | Code: | | Listen 192.168.0.200:631 |
from /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

At a guess, the line "Port 631" and the line "Listen localhost:631" are in conflict: "Port 631" including listening to localhost.
Could you try commenting out the line "Listen localhost:631"?
If you have done this (and restarted cupsd: "killall -HUP cupsd" will do just fine, you don't need to do "/etc/init.d/cupsd restart") and you still get a similar error, could you run | Code: | | netstat --listening --program --verbose --protocol=inet |
which will show you what program is listening to port 631.
The output here is | Code: | Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 8071/sshd
tcp 0 0 *:ipp *:* LISTEN 7486/cupsd
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 7917/master
udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:* 5399/dhcpcd
udp 0 0 *:ipp *:* 7486/cupsd
udp 0 0 192.168.0.100:ntp *:* 7807/ntpd
udp 0 0 192.168.1.37:ntp *:* 7807/ntpd
udp 0 0 lightfoot.etowers.n:ntp *:* 7807/ntpd
udp 0 0 *:ntp *:* 7807/ntpd |
"ipp" is port 631 as you can verify by adding "--numeric" to the command line and running it again.

Yes, thank you for running netstat. I'm astonished that it shows no listeners to IP ports though.
It looks as though cupsd is, by default, trying to listen to localhost:631 (and failing)
The last line | Code: | | E [16/Nov/2006:02:00:34 -0600] StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address 00000000:631 - Address already in use. |
I think must be the result of "Port 631" as the address "00000000" (also 0.0.0.0) means all addresses.
The KDE printer manager is failing because cupsd can't attach to 0:631.
"Off the wall": could you check that there isn't another cupsd running?
There is at least one other thread with this error, I'll try and find it. and google a bit too.
(Isn't it long past your bedtime or is your clock funny? 16/Nov/2006:02:00:34 -0600, it's 19:08 UTC here)

Yes, this netstat output is what I expected. It looks prettier when the "--numeric" is left off 
I've found the other post Cups - Child error 99, the forum search couldn't find it but Google found it on the forum!
In this post, two posters come to the conclusion that the fault is in their networking | Wind_Sp00n wrote: | I cant ping myself at all, which may be the cause of why I cant set up cupsd.
when I ping myself, I get | Code: | #ping localhost
PING Kokari.Orange (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. |
Then It just hangs there. I tried 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.102 (my router ip), Kokari.Orange, Kokari, and orange. (although that gave me an 'unknown host') |
Could you try pinging localhost? Will your battery last that long?

Another fine theory bites the dust!
Sorry, can't think of anything else.
I'll have a look at the CUPS forums and Google around a bit.

Working through the CUPS forums: first fruits â ypbind can decide to connect to port 631. But your netstat shows nothing at all

Probably not quite yet.
One message said that during boot, any other process may grab hold of port 631 for a short time: in particular, ypbind and anything to do with sunrpc. Have you got NIS installed? I don't know how to check for sunrpc programs.
However, if this is the problem, from your netstat output they aren't there any more. In that case, port 631 should be free.
Could you try starting cupsd manually with /etc/init.d/cupsd start (or restart if it thinks it is still running)?
Perhaps I've misinterpreted your postings and you have already tried this.
One other way of checking whether port 631 is in use is to use | Code: | # lsof -i :631
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
cupsd 7486 root 2u IPv4 11057 TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 7486 root 4u IPv4 11062 UDP *:ipp |
lsof is in sys-process/lsof.
Just to check, you have got only "Port 631" in your cupsd.conf, haven't you? No "Listen" directives?
One further thing to try, save your current cupsd.conf and try this basic, no frills one | Code: | LogLevel debug
# No 'Listen' directive !
Port 631
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseDeny All
BrowseAllow @LOCAL
BrowseOrder deny,allow
<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location>
<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthClass System
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From @LOCAL
</Location> |
restarting cupsd when it is in place.
The only other thing I can think of, if all this fails, is to unmerge CUPS (it is 1.1.23-r8, isn't it?) and unmask cups-1.2.6 (append "net-print/cups" to /etc/portage/package.keywords) and emerge it.

Could you say (for the benefit of posterity ) what you did to get it working?
Could you have a look at [SOLVED] KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2430 DL / CUPS and see if it solves your problem too?
Note: the above post has a reference to Read Me: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for foo2zjs. At one point (in the FreeBSD instructions) it says you have to install ghostscript-gnu. NO! for CUPS on Gentoo you must have ghostscript-esp.
