cups localhost browser

[Michael Steele_2]

hello folks:
I've been encouraged to learn SUSE and have a million questions. Question One, "...cups localhost:631..." browser. I'd like to get this running and add a printer but don't connect with http//localhost:631/.

Here's 'netstat -an':

sapafddc1:/etc # netstat -an | grep 631
tcp 0 0 10.5.2.130:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

...which indicates port 631 is open.

Am I missing APACHE or another http application to tie into? If so, do I need CD's? If CDs are needed then I'm stepping into anothers domain and will have to abscond
with the loot.
Other comments?

NO.

What is the error that you get? Do you have some proxy configuration?

[Steven E. Protter]

I know I've said it before, but half the time when this happens a firewall is interfering with the 631 connection.

I do not have a suse under hand but, I think you have a few tool already install to check if this is not a firewall related problem as Steve pointed out

as root try (and see if you have these tools)
# iptables -vvv -L

and

# nmap -vv localhost

have a look at the man page for more on those tools

try and find out what /var/log/messages and other log in the /var are saying.

dmesg is also a good candidate for check if now warning's' error's'.

Hope this is usefull.
