However, I note that there is this entry in my cupsd.conf ServerKey /usr/etc/cups/ssl/server.key which in fact could be commented as its the default. Have you redefined the port from the default 631? Port 443 is normally used for ssl functions I believe. In any event, the ssl should work, and that is where I'd point my nose to see if the problem can be sniffed out. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
