Question

Cannot Access CUPS Server- Brother MFC210C on Simply Mepis 3.3.1

Asked by: 1111_____1111

Until recently, I have successfully used the .deb (lpr and "cupswrapper") drivers supplied by Brother on said MFC.

 The printing has stopped working, and I get the following error message when I  re-install the drivers:
"lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused"

 Similarly when I try to "add" the printer again via the KDE Control Centre, I get the following:

 "An error occurred while retriving the printer list:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is properly installed and running.
Error: connection refused."

 My current cupsd.conf file (comments stripped, some format lost in posting):

 The problem seems to have occurred after I made some changes to my smb.conf file, so that could be related (can post this file too obviously). However, I have changed  back to the original smb.conf version, and the errors are still being reported ...

 I have also run /etc/init.d/cupsys restart with no apparent trouble, but no change to the above error reports either.


 Any suggestions/comments?

OK access log is normal, with the regular status check.
Pagelog is only on request when accounting information should be kept.
Error log just says that the system stopped at 19:17

In the cupsd.conf can you change the entry to LogLevel debug
and the try a "/etc/init.d/cupsd start"

btw what are you actual using cups or lpr..?

can you show 'netstart -antp | grep 515'
and 'netstat -antp | grep 631' ?

what scripts are run through startup:
- /etc/init.d/lpr
- /etc/init.d/cupsd?

Has the system been rebooted between the installation of the Brother driver and the
shutdown at July 6th ?

 

by: 1111_____1111Posted on 2006-07-20 at 13:24:01ID: 17149457


  Firstly, about lpr vs cups:
From the Brother website solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html :
 " Brother have prepared a CUPS driver (For BR-Script Models Users) and a CUPS wrapper driver (For Non-BR-Script Models Users) package. The CUPS driver automatically copies the relevant driver files to your Linux distribution, and the CUPS wrapper driver makes LPR drivers work with CUPS."
  So it looks as though I am actually using lpr AND cups. There were two .deb files installed, as I mentioned above.
 
 There were two LogLevel entries in my cupsd.conf. One was debug, and the other was info, so I commented the "info" one out.

 Started cups  OK (apparently). I get "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd."*
 
"netstat -antp | grep 515" result:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:515             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     4006/inetd

"netstat -antp | grep 631" result : no screen output


 *The script I am using is /etc/initd/cupsys. I don't see any lpr (or similar) scripts in the /etc/init.d directory.
 
 
 The system was rebooted numerous times between the installation of the Brother driver and the
shutdown at July 6th. The last driver installation as I recall was several months before July 6.

 

by: nociPosted on 2006-07-20 at 14:22:41ID: 17149893

lpd protocol is served by the inetd. And cups doesn't seem to be running.

Ok, now debug is enabled.., is there new output in the cups logfiles, or maybe
cups messages in one of the syslog files (daemon or so)

 

by: nociPosted on 2006-07-20 at 14:48:24ID: 17150081

And yes as far is the cupsys script is concerned the daemon started, but if it died seconds later, the cupsys script won't know that.
That why there must be a reason being logged somewhere....

 

by: 1111_____1111Posted on 2006-07-20 at 15:49:35ID: 17150480


 There areno new entries to the access_log and error_log entries or new .gz files created). There are now cups_log and cups-pdf_log files in the /var/log/cups directory, but they are both empty.
 
 This was in /var/log/daemon.log (after a reboot I think).

To rephrase: There are no new entries to the access_log and error_log FILES (or new .gz files created)...

And everythings tells us that cups is starting and dies immediately afterwards...

the samba problem is simple cannort connect to port 631, netstat -antp shows there is no one servicesing that port.
I need to look some things up.

can you start the cupsdaemon (from the commandline) with the following options and tell what you see?

/usr/sbin/cupsd -f -c /etc/cupsd/cups.conf

(assuming cups is installed in /usr/sbin and the cups config directry is /etc/cupsd)
Maybe this will tell us more.

The -f will prevent cups from daemonizing, so ane messages to stdout/stderr
will show up on the terminal.

you should be able to kill it again with CTRL/C

Yep!
 Result:

 /usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/cupsd: undefined symbol: cups_strlcpy

 BTW: I should mention that  I recently installed swat, and had to update some libraries for dependency reasons- this MIGHT be affecting cups also.

Solved!

 Found I had to update the cups (ie "cupsys" ) driver to version 1.2. Was able do this without too many more dependency updates.

 Thanks noci for your efforts- some of those commands could come in handy.  Am adding points because this got quite a lot harder than it should have ...

Also dont forget to disable the the LogLevel debug to something less,
'info' or even 'error' should normally be sufficient.

Unless you do something with those logfiles I'd say set it to error.
