https://bbs.archlinux.org – My cups printers have been working fine until I click share printer or allow printing from internet.  After choosing either option I can no longer connect to the cups server 127.0.0.1:631.  I get an unable to connect page.This problem did not occur prior to systemd.  I've read of another user having the same problem, but didn't find a solution.Thanks glenn69 https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=12643 2013-03-04T03:39:18Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to cups share printer failes under systemd

I have the same problem, but after restarting cups for several times, the problem still didn't go away. Printing worked fine yesterday, today suddenly it won't.

I haven't been able to get my Arch machine (cups 1.6) to see networked printers still running 1.5. For a while I downgraded to 1.5, but that wasn't sustainable.

Problems printing to HL-3075CW 21 weeks 6 days ago

I found this thread wherein mythus explained how he got his HL-3075CW working with CUPS.  I have mine connected (wired) and I can connect to its webinterface.  I have it configured in CUPS using the WL-3070 ppd mythus recommended.  When I send a test page to the printer, the job is withheld with a state of "processing since DATE "Unable to locate printer BRN001BA9AE9A63.&q

Problems with CUPS 1.6 41 weeks 12 hours ago

After I updated to CUPS 1.6, I experienced the following problems:1. Since CUPS sharing protocol was dropped, I can't see shared printers on my local network even if avahi-daemon started before cupsd. I simply can't figure out how can I share my printer in an auto-discoverable way with avahi. (I can see the printer in avahi-discover, but not in printer dialog.)2.

I do not have a solution to your problem but I would suggest to point a browser to 127.0.0.1:631 and configure CUPS from that. You will inteact directly with CUPS and it is better for debugging. Now can you see your printer from there?

I recently purchased a Brother DCP-7065DN printer. In the process of setting it up as a network printer under a pure systemd install. The wiki article about setting it up is for rc.d not systemd.

I think this is a bug, but what is failing? I deleted /etc/cups, reinstalled cups and tried this before installing any printers. Results are the same.The same file prints fine on my stable gentoo boxens.

I installed fedora 11 on this machine about 3 weeks ago. My printer, an HP Photosmart C4200, worked fine out of the box.

But I discover today that I cannot print anything. Not even a test page using CUPS (http://localhost:631/printers/). If I try to print something, it sits in the queue, but does not get printed.

I have systemd and cups installed and configured. Cups works fine if I start it manually with "systemctl start cups.service", but I am having to do that every reboot to get it to work. I have already tried "systemctl enable cups.service", and it didn't change anything.
