If it is not, check if yout /etc/network/interfaces hast this: # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback The Networking Options section un cupsd.conf contains this by default: Port 631 or to have cups listening only to the loopback interface in case you don't want to use the printer over network: Listen 127.0.0.1:631 In my Security Options section, these lines can be found: <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> And below: <Location /admin> [long comment left out] AuthType Basic AuthClass System ## Restrict access to local domain Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 #Encryption Required </Location> If it still does not work with these options, please check if you use the netfilter and have configured it too strictly. 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".
