[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#380518: cupsys: Cannot access localhost:631 interface or print since 1.2

[arth]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: important

Well I see I'm not the only person having issues with v1.2, but cannot find 
any answers to my problem. I've help off reporting for a long time, but not 
being able to print is a hastle-I'm applying for jobs. I regularly update 
Debian, 
and have tried all the 1.2 
series versions, including those only just in unstable, no help. With 1.2.2-1 
and supplied config file I get in /var/log/cups/error_log:

E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:20 +0100] Creating missing directory 
"/var/run/cups/certs"
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:20 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:25 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.
E [30/Jul/2006:18:09:36 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address 
127.0.0.1:631 - Cannot assign requested address.

Trying to connect to http://localhost:631 or same with https or 127.0.0.1 
either times out or gives cannot find host error. 

I've read a lot of other posts, and tried various changes to 
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf including commenting out Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock,
Encryption Required, using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, also tried logging 
into the web admin pages using ip6-localhost:631 as one poster suggested.

The problem isn't caused by firestarter firewall, used to work before cups 
1.2.

KDE cannot connect to the cups server either, unsurprisingly in my case. 
Nothing else is using port 631 I've checked. 

I give up, and reluctantly add to your long list of bugs, and hope for some 
progress.

Thanks.

Arthur
