Details

I followed the instructions in the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS_Setup) to set up my printer. Everything seemed to work well (ps -A |grep cupsd tells me that cups is up and running).

I can open localhost:631 (or 127.0.0.1:631) in the webbrowser. However, when I try to click on "add printer" (or any other link such as manage classes,..) the connection to localhost:631 is killed. This is strange because I still see the cupsd process and I am not able to stop or restart cups (with /etc/rc.d/cups restart/stop/start).

# pacman -Qs cups
local/cups 1.2.10-1
The CUPS Printing System
local/cups-pdf 2.4.3-1
PDF printer for cups
local/gnome-cups-manager 0.31-5
A CUPS manager for the Gnome Desktop Environment
local/libcups 1.2.10-1
The CUPS Printing System
local/libgnomecups 0.2.2-4
GNOME cups library

If you need more information, I'll happily provide them.

Hi Tobias.

After some hours work, I was able to get it running. I had to deinstall every cups-related packages, delete every cups-related files, (given by locate cups) and reinstall everything again under a newly added user. Perhaps you can close this as "not a bug", but I'm not quite sure.

Bernhard

Ps: sorry for the empty cupsd.conf, don't know why this happened....
