Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: important

Well I see I'm not the only person having issues with v1.2, but cannot find 
any answers to my problem. I've help off reporting for a long time, but not 
being able to print is a hastle-I'm applying for jobs. I regularly update 
Debian, 
and have tried all the 1.2 
series versions, including those only just in unstable, no help. With 1.2.2-1 
and supplied config file I get in /var/log/cups/error_log:

E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:20 +0100] Creating missing directory 
"/var/run/cups/certs"
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:20 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:25 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:36 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.

Trying to connect to http://localhost:631 or same with https or 127.0.0.1 
either times out or gives cannot find host error. 

I've read a lot of other posts, and tried various changes to 
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf including commenting out Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock,
Encryption Required, using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, also tried logging 
into the web admin pages using ip6-localhost:631 as one poster suggested.

The problem isn't caused by firestarter firewall, used to work before cups 
1.2.

KDE cannot connect to the cups server either, unsurprisingly in my case. 
Nothing else is using port 631 I've checked. 

I give up, and reluctantly add to your long list of bugs, and hope for some 
progress.

Thanks.

Arthur

I hardly expect this to be the problem, but what does ifconfig lo; output?



Hi Philippe,

I sent the below email quite some time ago, from a different email address. Sorry it didn't seem to get through. I still have a problem with SWAT, but the CUPS web interface does work now. Not trouble free though, pressing some buttons caused crashes and the config file to get corrupted, so I haven't used it again. I cannot clean print heads or check ink level on an Epson Stylus C82 (usb) via KDE, CUPS web page, or gnome programs. I can print test pages or other pages, but the output is so faint as to be illegible. The whole CUPS update has meant no printing for months now for me I'm afraid. I haven't seem any other bug reports about the faint printing issue, so I'm just waiting and hoping. Sorry to have to say that. Thanks for all the hard work and strife-I guess the software wasn't written by you!! Ta, Arthur

Hi. I have found the problem. My /etc/hosts had got screwed up somehow. Realised this when trying to access SWAT and that didn't work either. Sorry for the bug report. Thank you for the work you do. Cheers. Arthur

Thank you.
Since the original issue is fixed, I am closing this bug report. If the new issues you are experiencing are not yet reported, feel free to open new bug report(s).
