ÃœberprÃŒfen Sie, ob der CUPS-Server korrekt installiert wurde und aktiv ist. Fehler: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt" (connection to cups-server failed...). When i would start cups with the console, this is the result:

Sometimes some processes grab port 631 in your system but shouldn't.

Identify the process:
	lsof -i -n | egrep TCP.\*ipp
and restart it (how - depends on process).

Then you should be able to start cupsd:
	rccups start

Sorry, but we currently don't know, why this happens. We did many
things in SUSE Linux to avoid it, but it still happens from time
to time.

Best regards,
