Hello, I have a machine with newly installed Fedora Core 6 (i386). I had ran "yum update" on that machine.
When starting kprinter I get the following error message:
An error occurred while retrieving the printer list.
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason.
service cups restart does not change anything. rpm -q cups cups-1.2.7-1.3.fc6
There is NO firewall running on that machine.
I also ran "tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log" when starting kprinter, yet I don't see any message in that log when kprinter is starting.
It is a fresh installation of Fedora Core 6. I did NOT yet installed printers using cups/kprinter on that machine.
I can enter the web interface from a firefox browser by: http://127.0.0.1:631 without any erros or problems. Any idea what can cause this error message?
Regards, Mark

It's not clear to me what your setup is; is the printer attached to your computer, or are you trying to print on a remote machine?
In any case, I would suggest taking your browser to http://127.0.0.1:631 when you should see the CUPS page. If you don't, there is something wrong with your CUPS setup. If you do, you could try adding the printer there.
In my experience, it is better to do everything through this CUPS web-page; in fact I would start by going to system-config-printer and removing any printer shown there.

Oops - I missed your re-start comment. You say you can get the cups page at localhost:631. Does that find your printer(s)? How and where are they connected?

Anne, Thnks.

It does not find any printer since I did not yet add printers; this is a new computer with a fresh install.However, I do prefer adding by kprinter thab by cups; and I did it more than once on other computers in the past. And the printer attached is not a local printer , but a printer attached to the local network which has an IP of itself.

OK. I installed a networked printer with its own IP yesterday, doing it from the CUPS interface, and had no problems. Although I use kprinter a lot, I've never used it to install a printer.
Are you sure that the original error was not just saying that the printer list doesn't yet exist?

What ever your preferences adding printers to a cups printing systems is best done through the web interface if you want it to work without problems. After all you are using cups to do your printing so you might as well use the cups method for manipulating printing functions. -- ======================================================================= PENGUINICITY!! ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@sbcglobal.net
Hello,
If I start kprinter and ignore the errors I try unsuccesfully to add a printer. Eventually when starting kprinter I get the same error as before.
This is what I do: add new printer Network printer (TCP) HP laserjet model: 1015 General Informaton tab (name and location) Here I enter some text desciption fields.
I reach: Error (kprinter) dialog clinet-error-bad-request
And when activating kprinter I get again the same error as before: "an error occurred while retrieving the printer list connection to the cups server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason."

Mark, just why are you so determined not to use the cups interface? At worst you lose nothing. At best it will set things up and kprinter will work beautifully with it.
