When I attempt to print with lpr I get the following error:
$lpr file lpr: error - scheduler not responding!
I cannot print a test page from redhat-config-printer, I receive this error from it: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
I look for a CUPS process: $ps ax | grep cup 2408 ? S 0:00 eggcups --sm-config-prefix /eggcups-s2No7w/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000105035881100000046260004 --screen 0 3762 pts/0 S 0:00 grep cup
It appears that I don't have cupsd running, so I try to start the CUPS service: # /etc/init.d/cups start cupsd: Child exited with status 99! cups: started scheduler. [ OK ]
cupsd is still not a process! An error like this repeatedly appears in /var/log/cups/error_log: E [01/Dec/2003:17:50:36 -0500] StartListening: Unable to bind socket - Cannot assign requested address.
'nmap localhost' does not show port 631 (ipp) to be open. What have I overlooked? Do I need port 631 open to print? Do I need cupsd? Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance, jshreffl

Does 'printconf-backend --force-rebuild' as root make any difference?
What does 'grep ^Listen /etc/cups/cupsd.conf' say, as root?

Do you have anything weird at the end of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, like a "Listen xx.xx.xx.xx ppp" line whose IP address is not your own? I have this problem all the time. Remove the line where cupsd tries to listen on a non-local IP and cupsd starts fine.
HTH.

This sounds like a bug that needs to be reported via bugzilla.

Yes, it is super-annoying (has been around since FC1T1) but I've always assumed it's because of some automated configuration tool I may have used once helpfully overwriting my config files with something it thinks is right (and obviously isn't). I haven't been able to catch the thing in action to confirm/deny this and, if I'm right, what tool is responsible. When I see it again (last time was three days ago) I will try to track it down.
Has anyone had any luck getting fedora to work with their promise cards? I tried the RH9 disk, but of course that did not work. I read in the archives about a different promise card and getting it to work somewhat, but most of the links are dead that talk about building a driver disk.
