Gottit!! The problem was in the /etc/hosts file. My domain was listed correctly, but I commented out the following code for IPv6, which my network doesn't support. I'm not sure if that was causing the problem, but cups works perfectly now.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.HannumanHi Hannuman, I've had some wacky thing happen to me in gnome, cups and udev. The guidoes bomb some times and I ususally try using the 'web' interface. pointeither a gui web browser or links to http://localhost:631 and try that! Cheers, KevCheck your /etc/hosts file and make sure your localhost is listed. Time delays can occur when it can't resolve the domain. Also, use 'ifconfig' to confirm that you have a loopback network running. If it didn't get started, this can bog down local communications.doesn't seem to be doing anything. When the first page finally comes up, I click on one of the options ("Do Administrative Tasks", "Manage Printer Class", etc...) and it never seems to load the next page. Apart from that, I've modified the /etc/cups/client.conf file by uncommenting and changing the "ServerName" three times to :ServerName localhost ServerName localhost.localdomain ServerName myhost.mydomain.comAny other suggestions? Do you know of any files or logs that might help me troubleshoot the problem?Thanks, HannumanPaul
