The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cannot Access CUPS Server- Brother MFC210C on Simply Mepis 3.3.1

Asked by 1111_____1111 in Linux Printing, Ghostscript PDF Software

Tags: cups, server, connect

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?
