I'm slowly moving stuff over from my old laptop (running a RHEL5.0 equivalent) to the new pixilla one (running RHEL5.4 equiv.) . I copied over my /etc/cups directory, and was having problems with the lpr family of tools: -> lpq - lpq: Unable to connect to server
BTW, lpq connects through a few softlinks to /usr/bin/lpq.cups. This ain't your grampa's port 515, Bunky! Without any error log messages anywhere that I could find. Sigh. It turns out that it is trying to connect to /var/run/cups/cups.sock which the older machine did not use ( it only used localhost:631 ). After much frobbing, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, the fix turned out to be to add these lines to the file /etc/cups/cups.conf : - # Only listen for connections from the local machine. - Listen localhost:631 - Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock All the above is for the record, so that others with this problem can find a possible solution by googling, and so the writers of the cups code can find new ways to make life difficult.
