Is CUPS running? Does your distro disable the web interface? Could the running cupsd process be in a non-functional state? Given the issues you describe I suspect the latter to be more likely. > Suspecting the problem is permissions, I did "sudo firefox" from the > command line, then tried the link, but it still won't open. Argh, no. That runs firefox as root, sure. It then tries to connect to the TCP/IP address 127.0.0.1 on port 631 just like normal. The only difference is that if something goes wrong, it can nuke your system. Don't run a browser as root.

Just Scribus? Does the same error/warning appear when you print other jobs? -- Craig Ringer
