 Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 12:13 am Post subject: CUPS Error |
 |
|
When I try to run printer configuration utility in kde I've error like that:
| Code: |
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason.
|
Cups is configured to run on correct port (as I suppose). I'm not the only person who has this error message - my friend too  .
Cups is installed (I emerged it once more to be sure). |

I don't use KDE, but gnome. Very limited experience with CUPS, but I usually work with printers from a web browser. You should be able to enter "http://localhost:631/" and attach to the CUPS server if everything is OK. Give that a try and see if you learn something more.
Sorry I can't be of more help. |

Could you check that it is running by | Code: | | /etc/init.d/cupsd status |
If it says "stopped" then you can start it by | Code: | | etc/init.d/cupsd start |
and then you should run | Code: | | rc-update add cupsd default |
to make sure it is always started.

Are you trying to use CUPS on the same machine the printer is connected to?

Hi.
Can you connect with a browser to http://localhost:631 ?
What's the output of netstat -tan?

Since you are having difficulty with KDE, the following warning from the cups-1.2.7 ebuild might help in solving your problem | Code: | "The configuration changed with cups-1.2, you may want to save the old"
"one and start from scratch:"
"# mv /etc/cups /etc/cups.orig; emerge -va1 cups"
"You need to rebuild kdelibs for kdeprinter to work with cups-1.2"
"/usr/lib/cups exists - You need to remerge every ebuild that"
"installed into /usr/lib/cups and /etc/cups, qfile is in portage-utils:"
"# FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge -va1 \$(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed \"s:net-print/cups$::\")"
"FEATURES=-collision-protect is needed to overwrite the compatibility"
"symlinks installed by this package, it wont be needed on later merges."
"You should also run revdep-rebuild" |

I've got one more error 
| Code: |
FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge -va1 \$(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed \"s:net-print/cups$::\")
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

That was copied from the ebuild text, it appears to have some characters escaped to allow ewarn to work properly. This works | Code: | | FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge -va1 $(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed "s:net-print/cups$::") |
