>From cups-browsed.conf(5): If cups-browsed is not able to access the local CUPS daemon via a domain socket it accesses it via localhost. The implication is that cups-browsed will use the domain socket by default, which is the behaviour I get. So why does your cups-browsed attempt a connection to localhost when cupsd is listening on /var/run/cups/cups.sock? What does strace show when cups-browsed is started? What does 'lpstat-a' give after it has started? Please attach your cupsd.conf and cups-browsed.conf to your next mail here. Cheers, Brian.
