jbuckley2004 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've been trying to get remote printing going using Mandriva 2007 Free. As I did successfully just last month, I installed CUPS and hplip, but I've run into a new problem. The first time I entered the MCC and tried to set up the printer queue, I recall getting a dialog that asked me to select search for remote or local printers. I inadvertently selected "local printers" (at least, I think I did), and it never found one, and I don't think I exited the MCC 'gracefully'. From that point on, I've been unable to get back to that dialog, and all I see is a "please wait" message and a search that apparently never terminates. From the browser, when I go to http://localhost:631, I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments." If I select 'print' from the menu, firefox (and any application that I try to print from) freezes. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

SoulSe Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Try https://localhost:631 Also paste your CUPS config file, if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuckley2004 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks for the come-back, SoulSe. Trying to connect to localhost:631 using https: returns the same error-page as before, using http: My cups.conf file reads (in toto): <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <!-- Only root can send this message --> <policy user="root"> <allow send_interface="com.redhat.PrinterSpooler"/> </policy> <!-- Allow any connection to receive the message --> <policy context="default"> <allow receive_interface="com.redhat.PrinterSpooler"/> </policy> </busconfig> (This is in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/) Hope there's a clue in there, somewhere.
