/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket failed

[Leon Stringer]

Hi,

I upgraded from CUPS 1.1.19 to 1.2.10 last week. Since then I've been called to non-printing printers and found that the status in the CUPS web interface is "stopped" with the message:

   /usr/lib/cups/backend/socket failed

If I click Start, everything works properly again. This didn't happen at all with the old version.

Can anyone advise how this could be resolved?

Thanks in advance,

Leon...
