33 Ok... and away we go... printing works now.

35 Richard what do you make of the fact that I cannot connect to cups
36 with the normal http://locahost:631?
37
38 I've seen a few posts here from others who have noticed it too.
39
40 http://localhost:631/admin
41
42 or
43
44 http://localhost:631/help
45
46 Will get a connection, but in the past a simple:
47 http://localhost:631 was enough.
48
49 That now gets a 404 Not Found
50
51 error_log has this:
