CUPS Interface Script

[David Lopez]

lee

i have messed with the server script before and to grab and keep errors,
this is what i placed at the beginning of the script:

LogLevel debug2
LogDebugHistory 500
MaxLogSize 1m
MaxClientsPerHost 10
Listen localhost:631

the attributes must have proper case as per the cups docs:
  web address is: http://localhost:631/

look at /var/logs/cups/error_log

and look for the line: Loaded configuration file "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf"

look for any errors after that. i found that several attributes were no
longer used so i removed them.

let us know how u solved it.
