Have you tried a netstat to see if the port is really in use?

Jose,
I tried the cups-1.1.18-r5 version that did work in the past and that
is no help. Interestingly, the Child exited error has changed from
ststus 99 to status 98. I googled the error and found at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-faq.html#q_4_2
Section 4: CUPS Errors
4.2 cupsd: Child exited with status 98!?
Another process is using the port that cupsd listens to (default
631). It might be the rpc.rquotad deamon. Either disable this deamon
or make sure cupsd starts before nfs.
There is no rpc.rquotad deamon running or even in /etc/init.d
and nfs-utils is not emerged. I tried emerge -C cups and emerging the
1.1.18-r5 version that worked in the past. I'm confused.
Thanks

Ernie,
I had some problems with cups and several related packaged some
time ago and I finally opted for reemerging an old version. My
problems were related to printing (maybe something broken in
drivers) so I'm sorry I cannot offer any help to you. Anyway if you
cannot afford to lose more time you may go to an prior version.
Regards

I'm still at a loss to get my printer working. Since my previous
post, I've re-emerged foomatic as well. A reboot gave the same
child error as before (see below) but now, zapping cupsd and then
starting it and restarting it run without error. Trying to access
cups at MRK:631 now gives me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.
This seems as though it might hold the key but I have no idea
where to look.
I also get the same errors as before if I try the kde rout to
configure a printer.

I have re-emerged cups, ghostscript, hpijs and gimp-print but
still cannot get my printer working again. I believe that the
problem started at the last cups update. (somewhere around
8/4/03) It is a USB HP deskjet 932 and worked fine until then.
After re-emerging the above apps, I attempted to restart cups
and got the !! next to "stopping cupsd" So, I rebooted. during
the boot sequence, I saw the following message:
starting cupsd
[OK] cupsd: Child exited with status 99!
# cupsdconf [returns]
Unable to retrieve configuration file from the CUPS server. You
probably don't have the access permissions to perform this
operation.
opening the printer section of the KDE Control Center gives the
following error in a pop up window:
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from
manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is
correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused.
I can't get into the web based cups page either. typing MRK:631
in a browser takes me to some arbitrary web page on the outside,
though Ernie:631 on the other box works. It looks like I have
something messed up somewhere but I can't figure it out. Anyone
have an idea?
