Workarounds for Can't open localhost:631

#2 Post by tazoc »

I found a similar bug in Lighthouse Pup and found that using Menu | Setup | CUPS Printer Wizard and clicking 'Yes' when asked if I want to add a new printer, then the web interface opens. Otherwise it doesn't, unless I first type

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/cups start
in a terminal.

This was all after verifying that cupsd is already running... :? Seems like cupsd has to be restarted, even though it was already started by the init.d script during boot up. So unless someone has a better way I plan to modify /usr/sbin/cups_shell and /usr/local/bin/cupsview in Lighthouse to always run /etc/init.d/cups start.

Please try the workarounds and see if they work for you.

Thanks,
TazOC

The next thing you should do is boot off the Wary Live CD using "puppy pfix=ram". Then run the printer wizard.
