What does "netstat -l" say? If Cups is listening with default configuration, it should show a line like this: tcp 0 0 *:ipp *:* LISTEN If it doesn't and cupsd is running, maybe your Cups is misconfigured. Take a look at your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, especially the sections "Network Options" and "Security Options". best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
