Can't Add a remote printer. I'm used to seeing a list of printers located on the network and adding it. Browsing to a ppd file and being done with it. I am manually configuring a printer and after typing in the port, i.e socket://192.168.0.10:9100, then clicking continue I get this error : server-error-internal error. I look at the available printers and there is one named: {printer_name}. I try to delete it and get a 404 not found error.

you can edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

From:
LogLevel info
to:
LogLevel debug


Then type this in a consolewindow (to restart cups):
killall cupsd
cupsd&

Now you can watch more detailed error-messages:

tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log

Maybe that gives you a hint, what is wrong.
