In my case, it doesn't.  I get "Unable to connect to server: Connection refused" messages to lpinfo, the web access tool, etc.  And yes, I'm su'd to root.  I can run Opera as root.  No go with lynx, either.

I did install cupsys before cupsys-client, cupsys-bsd, etc., though I cannot imagine what difference that would make.

What am I doing wrong, or not doing, please?

TIA
