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. -David
