Printer Setup Using CUPS-KDE [Debian]

Prev: mysqladmin: unable to change password

From: Leonard Chatagnier on 13 Feb 2005 15:40

I need help to determine why I can't set up an Epson Stylus CX6400 using
either KDE Print Manager or the command line using lpadmin. Here are my
problems:
When I call up the KDE Print manager, after trying to initialize, this
message pops up:

Error-KDE Control Module
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is
correctly installed and running.
Error: host not found.
or this message appears depending on how I start Print Manager:

Error - kprinter

Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is
correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused.

Not sure the cupsd server is running. When I do ps -ef | cupsd, I get:
lchata(a)ChatagnierL-Home:/opt$ ps -ef | grep cupsd
lchata 1608 958 0 11:31 pts/2 00:00:00 grep cupsd
lchata(a)ChatagnierL-Home:/opt$ (Being a newbie, not sure what this means)

If, I try to restart cupsd, I get an error: (copies from my post to KDE
print list)
Restarting printing system service: cupsdcupsd: Child exited
with status 98!

Sometimes I can get the Add Printer Wizzard to start instead
of hanging, but when I click the next buton the screen is greyed out
This is a long standing problem and I'm new to linux. Hope
someone can help me to correct this problem. Found several posts
relating to this
problem and tried all suggestions. None helped me.

My system follows:
Dell Dimensions XPS T450, 128M ram on Debian GNU Linus v3.0,
Woody-2.4.18-bf2.4
KDE version 3.3.2 CUPS version - 1.1.23
Upgrading under Testing

Thanks for your help,

(part of my reply to the first KDE Print list feedback that's typical)
So, I start Kongueror, put http://localhost:631 in the address bar, and hit
enter. Kongueror give me this message:
An error occurred while loading http://localhost:631:
Could not connect to host localhost (port 631).

I used Konqueror, instead of Mozilla, and the result the same.
I've done all the above, several times, before posting the first
time. Can we try something else?
Thanks,
Leonard Chatagnier

When I use lpadmin from a terminal command line, I get:
ChatagnierL-Home:/usr/bin# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p StylusColor -E -m
stcolor.ppd -v direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection timed out
I gave up on using the print manager and tried the above right out of
the CUPS Software
Administrators Manual. Nothing works

I've modified the cupsd.conf sereral times in attempting to get
http://localhost:631 to do
something besides give an errror output. My cupsd.conf file is copied
below:

Any help much appreciated,

Hi Leonard

It sounds as though cups may not be configured correctly of fully
installed. Try 'dpkg-reconfigure cupsys' first off. If you still can't
access localhost:631 (you either need to be in group lpadmin when asked
to login or else use root), have a look at the following documentation:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/

Although it is geared to networked printers in is applicable to setting
up a local printer under debian.

Works for me ;)

Regards

Clive

Reconfigure popped up a wizard that I haven't seen before, and I was
hopeful, but this message appeared on
completion:
ChatagnierL-Home:/opt# dpkg-reconfigure cupsys
Stopping printing system service: cupsd.
Starting printing system service: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with status 98!
invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "start" failed.
ChatagnierL-Home:/opt#
This is the message I get whenever I try to start or restart
cupsys. I've added my user id. to lpadmin and lp
quite a while ago

and I never get passed the localhost refused part(never asks for
Password). I think, from all I've seen trying to solve this problem,
that there is some
issue with localhost as I can not access it from cups, kde print or
whatever and have no
idea what to do.
Thanks for your reply. I have seen a similiar how-to before but it
wasn't Debian. I'll take a look see at it and hope it helps before I
get back to list.
I forgot to say:
NOT SUBSCRIBED: PLEASE COPY MY EMAIL ADDRESS
Thanks,
Leonard

PS-I'm adding a portion of my cups error-log that probably say more than
I've put into
this post so far. Hope someone looks at it and comments.

This is a followup to the suggesions posted by Clive Menzies. Please
forgive the top posting,
but I had to copy my last reply from the web as I,m not subscribed and
fear my new followup post
would by lost. Clive, I thought I had used the Debian Howto before
without any success. But, I went
through it again start to finish and did everything listed. I still
can't restart cupsd without error. The output from the troubleshooting
section of the howto is below: Maybe you could send me a copy of your
cupsd.conf file if you are using a dialup modem as it seems no one chose
to comment on mine.
If I can't get a good copy of the cupsd.conf file, I consider purging
the cups and related distributions
and do a fresh reinstall. However, doing so hasn't been too successful
in the past. I'll try any suggestions I get and thanks for your help,

This is the message I get whenever I try to start or restart cupsys.
I've added my user id. to lpadmin and lp
quite a while ago

and I never get passed the localhost refused part(never asks for
Password). I think, from all I've seen trying to solve this problem,
that there is some
issue with localhost as I can not access it from cups, kde print or
whatever and have no
idea what to do.
Thanks for your reply. I have seen a similiar how-to before but it
wasn't Debian. I'll take a look see at it and hope it helps before I get
back to list.
I forgot to say:

PS-I'm adding a portion of my cups error-log that probably say more than
I've put into
this post so far. Hope someone looks at it and comments.

Hi Leonard

Attached is my cupsd.conf file but I'm not sure it shows you a lot -
