How do I check if the loopback device is up? According to the netstat command Cups is listening to the correct port; I also went through the cupsd.conf file and realized that most of the options regarding the listening of Cups were turned off. I've changed some options but to no avail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
