Look in /var/log/cups/error_log for a description of the problem. When
I've gotten this error lately, I've seen this line:
"StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address
c0a800fe:631 - Address already in use."
Looking in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I see the following:
Listen 10.0.0.116:631
Listen 10.0.0.116:631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Getting rid of the duplicate Listen line fixes the problem. I've
noticed this problem whenever one of the assistant admins here uses
system-config-printer.
