When I attempt to print with lpr I get the following error: $lpr file lpr: error - scheduler not responding! I cannot print a test page from redhat-config-printer, I receive this error from it: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable I look for a CUPS process: $ps ax | grep cup 2408 ? S 0:00 eggcups --sm-config-prefix /eggcups-s2No7w/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000105035881100000046260004 --screen 0 3762 pts/0 S 0:00 grep cup It appears that I don't have cupsd running, so I try to start the CUPS service: # /etc/init.d/cups start cupsd: Child exited with status 99! cups: started scheduler. [ OK ] cupsd is still not a process! An error like this repeatedly appears in /var/log/cups/error_log: E [01/Dec/2003:17:50:36 -0500] StartListening: Unable to bind socket - Cannot assign requested address. 'nmap localhost' does not show port 631 (ipp) to be open. What have I overlooked? Do I need port 631 open to print? Do I need cupsd? Any ideas? Thanks in Advance, jshreffl
