Help...
After merging cups i tried to add a printer via the web interface ... Everything works fine up to the part where there usually is a drop-down-list of the devices (ex: smb://blablabla/blabla, ipp://bla2/bla etc.). This list is empty! I have no clue what I did wrong since it has worked before ...
Greetz,
Martin |

just a text field and some examples.
so i guess they've removed it?

I am using cups own web-frontend under http://servername:631/admin. The HTML code proves that there supposed to be a dropdown-list:
| Code: | ---snip---
<TR>
<TD></TD>
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT">Device:&</TD>
<TD>
<SELECT NAME="DEVICE_URI">
</SELECT>
</TD>
</TR>
---snip--- |
I will remerge cups. Might fix my problem...
Greetings,

Device list is still empty!
Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the problem? Or what the problem is?

here are my 2 cents
if you got gimp do:
| Code: | | emerge gimp-print-cups |

I've got the same problem 
If i try to do lpinfo -v, i get
| Code: |
lpinfo: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused.
|
What is the problem? I'm using cups version 1.1.18-r4. |

Well, let me serve you a solution: 
At least my problem was solved by editing the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and adding following line:
| Code: |
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
|
It appears that cups requires that to function properly. Well, it worked fine in the other address I had - doing
| Code: |
lpinfo -h <ip address> -v
|
resulted a list of available devices. |
