[cups] Cannot get CUPS up at localhost:631

[Jim Anderson]

Hi Doug,

I installed the cups-filters and then ran 'configure' again, followed by 
make.

The make.log file show the results of make. It looks ok to me.

I then tried running 'make check' and had to run it several times and it 
always
seems to hang at the same point. I'm including 'test3.log' and 
'test4.log' whice
are the log files from running 'make check'. The results in test3.log 
show some
tests running and passing before hanging. The results in test4.log don't 
show
the same tests passing, but it hangs at the same point.

    Along with the package dependencies cups-filters has, you need to install additional files for your Dell 1130 printer,  e.g. it needs 'rastertosamsungspl' and a PPD file :
        https://github.com/martensms/dell1130-ubuntu

I downloaded the Dell 1130 files from the dell website. They worked with 
cups 1.5.3 and
should still be valid for cups 2.0.2.

Do you have any suggests or comments about the 'make check' failure?

Jim
