reply from Stuart:
yes, so something is wrong with your cups configuration. 1) try restarting cups, in another window run tail -f /var/log/messages /var/log/cups/error_log what do you see?
2) have you tried to share this printer using the redhat-config-printer gui?
- I've seen this add spurious ListenAddress lines to the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
file in the past, which can prevent startup.
3) post a copy of your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file here so we can look...

---------------------
Thanks much to Stuart, cups is back !
i had two additional 'Listen' lines in my cupsd.conf
evidently these were worse than superfluous, bc the error msg said address already inuse
[root@corni cups]# tail -f /var/log/messages /var/log/cups/error_log
==> /var/log/messages <==
....
D [02/Jan/2005:11:08:09 -0800] StartListening: NumListeners=3
D [02/Jan/2005:11:08:09 -0800] StartListening: address=7f000001 port=631
D [02/Jan/2005:11:08:09 -0800] StartListening: address=c0a80207 port=631
D [02/Jan/2005:11:08:09 -0800] StartListening: address=00000000 port=631
E [02/Jan/2005:11:08:09 -0800] StartListening: Unable to bind socket - Address already in use.
just why i added those two Listen lines, i don't really know except trying to follow the
documentation......
###Listen 127.0.0.1:631
###Listen 192.168.2.7:631
now with those lines commented out, i can again get browser access via port 631
and now [root@corni root]# /etc/init.d/cups status cupsd (pid 1806) is running... [root@corni root]#
now i can get back to the configure job....
that diagnostic line re 'error_log' as per Stuart proved really helpful led me right to the source of my trouble
thanks again Jack
