Printer & localhost:631
I am wondering if someone might be able to assist me, someone completely new
to Debian and relatively new to Linux........? To set up my Epson Stylus C43UX
USB Printer, which works a treat with the C42UX driver in Linux.......... On
my Acer 1355LC laptop.
I have ***not*** been able to connect through http://localhost:631 and unable
to get the onto the cups server through the KDE peripherals Pinter wizard.
Cups appears to be looking for a network, which is non existent, yet has some
relevance to the hostname that I gave the system during the install, instead
of leaving it as the default "Debian"
This is the message that is in /var/log/cups/error_log

Its not a firewall problem, because nothing changes even when there is no
firewall or I use the command :- # iptables -nL INPUT
The /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file shows that cups is listening to port 631 and not
eth0 or other.
Logged in as root, I get an error message through Konqueror when I try to get
to http://localhost:631 also, though I can't recall what it was at the moment.
I would appreciate some assistance as I have googled this for some two weeks
and am obviously using the wrong words, or no one else has experienced this
problem and written it up or posted it anywhere.
Thank you in advance.
Charlie.
