cupsys error

[valonso]

I've installed kubuntu dapper alfa 3, in two differente computers and I get the same cupsys error.

When I access to the printer section in Kcontrol to install a printer, or when I try to print, I get the error:

"Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received form manager:
Connection to CUPS serer failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: host not found."

The server is running, and I even can install a printer with a browser and the URL localhost:631, but any way I can't print because I get the error I just mentioned before.

¿Any idea? ¿Am I the only one who has this problem?

Regards.

Victor.

Re: cupsys error

I replay to myself:

After installing dapper, if you go to System settings / Printers / Print Manager / Configure Manager / Cups Server, you can see that in the field Host it appears: "/var/run/cups/cups.sock" and it should be "localhost".

It's now solved.

Hope it helps .

Re: cupsys error

Got the same problem, but it say localhost at my config .

Can't find the solution for my cups error hehe but thats beta testing

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.

Also had read somewhere that it has something to do with ipv6 ourso.

Re: cupsys error

Is your loopback interface up?

ifconfig should show you lo

Re: cupsys error

Same problem here...
Can't install my Deskjet printer.
Cupsys is dead, I think.
