I've had my printer working with cups for a while now, but recently i've been getting this message whenever i try to print:

Code:
lp: error - scheduler not responding!


I've tried restarting cupsd, and reemerging cups, but neither has worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem too...

It used to work but somewhere it stopped working. Cups gets started at boot time but lpr complains that the scheduler is not responding and the web interface crashes cupsd

I'm using:

Cups-1.1.20-r1

Any ideas would be very welcome

I upgraded glibc, only minor version chg but it stopped turboprint and hence cups of which lpr is part.

HTH. 8)

I was getting this, now its fixed.
Code:
bash-2.05b# lpr dev.txt
lpr: error - scheduler not responding!

Also wrong configuration of iptables could be the problem ...

I installed cups to be able to install samba and print from my redhat linux
on a printer installed in a windows machine. I had also another printer in
other linux server working fine. Well, I installed cups and samba, and now my
old working printer does not work anymore. The windows machine either. These
are the errors I culd find:

[root at limes samba]# lp
lp: error - scheduler not responding!
[root at limes samba]# lpr
lpr: error - scheduler not responding!
[root at limes samba]# service cups start
cups: started scheduler. [ OK ]
[root at limes samba]# lp
lp: error - scheduler not responding!
[root at limes samba]# lpr
lpr: error - scheduler not responding!

Anyone has some idea? Or at least someone could give a tip on how to uninstall
cups, so I can get my old printer to work again?

Thanks
Jack

Try this:

Code:
export CUPS_SERVER=localhost


and then issue the command. You may also edit ~/.cupsrc and set there:

Code:
ServerName localhost


Finally, you may set:

Code:
ServerName localhost


in your /etc/cups/client.conf file. Or, if you prefer, you may use in your command line:

Code:
lpq -h localhost

Tried:
lp -h http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/PRINTER_NAME myfile.pdf

lp -h http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/HP_LaserJet_4000_Series_192.168.2.126 myfile.pdf

got: lp: Error - scheduler not responding.

Tried:
lp -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/HP_LaserJet_4000_Series_192.168.2.126 myfile.pdf

Success!

NB: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is IP of CUPS server at remote computer, not the printer itself. mine was actually port forwarded to :631 on the that server which is the CUPS port. my WAN port was whatever. e.g. 70.55.222.222:3389 -> 192.168.2.101:631
