Hello everybody,

I am following the install documentation for printers. I am at the step where I have to install my printer in CUPS. But http://localhost:631 returns me 404 Not Found

.

Here is my configuration :

lalebarde,

That suggests that cupsd is not running. Did it exit with an error?
Look in dmesg.

Is localhost listed in your /etc/hosts file ?
Does http://127.0.0.1:631 work ?
What about http://<real-IP-addr>:631

Hello NeddySeagoon,

I am very pleased to meet you again

.

cupsd looks running, and nothing in dmesg concerning cupsd :

lalebarde,

I am not thinking very well. As you get a web page at all, even the 404 error page, it shows that a server is running listening to your localhost:631.
My cups in installed with USE flags

Hello NeddySeagoon,

I put your use flags and it works now

. I have then installed my printer and print a test page. Nothing happens. I tryed another driver from http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi, but it is the same

.

As it is a long time I have not made it work, I am going to try to print something from another PC, and I will tell you.

See you soon,

lalebarde.

My printer & cable are OK (test from another PC). Then, I have installed it on my PC on another linux distribution (Sabayon). It installs right, but printing the test page fails. Six months ago I was on Mandriva and printing worked.

Possibly my parrallel port is out of order, but I don't have instruments to test it properly. Any idea to test it ?

try emerging gimp-print / gutenprint & see if those drivers work

good luck

lalebarde,

The good news is that as it worked in any Linux, it can be made to work in any other Linux.

Starting at the beginning, do you have parallel port support in your kernel ?
Having a /dev/lp0 or a symlink pointing to a real /dev file would be encoraging.

Does your user belong to the right group ?

My dmesg shows

lalebarde,

You have to log out and back in again to pick up new group memberships. A reboot is not required

I have rebooted (I read your message after). Nothing is changed.

kernelOfTruth, it seems I cannot try your idea : my canon bj200 is not in the list of supported printers - it is probably too old !

Hello NeddySeagoon,

I have ordered an usb2parallel adaptor. In the time between I receive it, I propose to suspend. Then I will test the printer connected to a USB port. Possibly I will have a parallel test feature.

I will inform you and at this point I do thank you very much for your help.

See you,

lalebarde.

I was getting the same "404 Not Found" message from <http://localhost:631/>. I looked through /var/log/cups/error_log and found this:

I just updated my entire system, including cups, and this problem appeared for me as well.

The Document root in my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf was set like this:

Hi,
After reading this post I checked my cups files:
I have no "document root" or "filename =/usr/share/xx"in any of them.
I have had my share of problems with getting my printer going
but they were solved by installing the latest (masked) gimp-print.
I don't mean to say that that would solve your problem but I am
very curious about the cups issue.Without cups no printer.
In my case cups was installed june 12 2007.
Gerard.

The usb2parallel adaptor has changed nothing. I bought a new printer and it works.
