Mencken > Rick Pasotto rick@niof.net http://www.niof.net Hi, IIRC, the 98 means, that somebody else is using the port and CUPS cannot use it. There seemed to be a little change in the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file in the last update. The new version has a couple of includes at the end: Include /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf Include /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf So, first check that you don't have two entries for the listening port, one in the cupsd.conf and the other via the include ports.conf. If you have two entries, just comment one of them out. I'm not sure if this is related to the classes.conf at all, that could be a separate problem. Simo -- :r ~/.signature
