The browser launches , And it shows http://localhost:/631 in the title bar but i get an error message in the middle stating:
Try http://localhost:631
You do not need the "/" prior to 631

Is the message i see ( even in the live session )...Unable to connect
Nope..! , Still no luck here..., I still get the error...GuestToo wrote:i don't know if this is your problem, but i seem to remember that you must use the exact address that is in the config file ... so if it is configured to allow 127.0.0.1 and you use localhost, it will not work
does http://127.0.0.1:631 work?
or maybe http://127.0.0.1:631/
smbspool didn't help , the localhost thing still won't open...Mstar wrote:I believe the answer is here:

I fought this same battle for two weeks, then installed smbspool as per the post and CUPS immediately began working.
YMMV, but it worked for me.
Well, that makes it rather less palatable. I sure like to be able to back out packages, especially when loading something big like cups into something small like Puppy, where I don't know whether it is going to help me before I try it.There is no uninstall feature in this dotpup.
Yes its keen to pick up printers...perhaps maually editing printers.conf in /etc/cups might do the trick.....I noticed when trying to delete jobs I get permission denied...probably needs a change in the cups.conf fileIve (think Ive) noticed that CUPS seems to automatically pick up printers that are installed on other computers on the network, and I cant seem to remove them when I take them up to the cybercafe. Is there a way of clearing all of the cups configuration and printers to make a fresh install? Would re-installing this package do it?
What about testing ram only ie pfix=ram.....should work nicely with xp...install internet printing (ipp) and choose this method with the setup printer wizard putting the full cups printer address ...I used the adobe postscipt driver which seems to produce a better quality print than the original manufacturer one.....or via samba if you are using that.I realize it was suggested to back up the pup_save first, in case it doesn't work. But there are other reasons to want to back out packages, for example when this revision is superceded by another, or because some day the standard Puppy print setup may be good enough.
probably though I notied that the cups.conf file format does change between versions...suck it and see.I assume if I symlink the printers.conf file to something outside the pup_save file, I can just run a software update by replacing the pup_save and not have to set up the printing on all ten machines!
