CUPS 1.3.5: 'connection refused' when trying to print from thecommand line...

[Evan Bradley]

Hi Helge,

Thanks for the reply!

Here is the output of the 'svcs | grep print' command:


[517-root at unixbuild-/opt/cups/1.3.5/etc/cups] svcs | grep print
online         Nov_27   svc:/application/cde-printinfo:default
offline        Nov_27   svc:/application/print/ipp-listener:default


It appears as if the ipp-listener is already disabled, and the rfc1179 service isn't even found.
