Thanks for replying Gary.

I tried Nixos and Guix and recently decided on Nixos which I am using on a 
desktop computer. My laptop I will continue to use Arch which I am familiar 
with as a user since the late 1990's. One day I will make another change on my 
laptop.

1. Make sure to import `cups-service-type` and `cups-configuration` in your 
`use-modules` declaration at the top of the file.

2. Make sure that your `operating-system` declaration compiles without errors.

3. Remember to run `sudo guix system reconfigure /path/to/your/config.scm` to 
add this service.

4. Make sure the CUPS service is running with `sudo herd status cups`.
   If not, you may need to start it manually or simply reboot your
   computer to bring it up automatically at init time.

Good luck!

Make sure you have set web-interface? to #t in the cups-service-type
definition in your operating-system record's services field.

```
(service cups-service-type
 (cups-configuration
  (web-interface? #t)))
```

Cups Web Interface is Disabled

2022-04-26 Thread Les Campbell
When I attempt to load cups at http://local host631/admin the following 
message is displayed:



 Web Interface is Disabled

The web interface is currently disabled. Run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" 
to enable it.


From the terminal I run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" however I get 
"cupsctl: Internal Server Error".


How can I correct this problem and access the cups menu?
