Can't connect to cups localhost:631

system-->Manage Printing results in "Unable to connect"

there should be a symlink from /etc/rc.d/service to /sbin/service which is missing, thus the cups service won't start and allow for the printer application to see the printer.

you can make a symlink by: ln -s /etc/rc.d/service /sbin/service

Check the services in run level 4 also, and make sure cups is set to be on. The symlink needs to be there first.

Not sure why the symlink is missing.

Update to this... I did the above root:# ln -s /etc/rc.d/service /sbin/service ln: failed to create symbolic link `/sbin/service': File exists

and obviously the file was already there

so I checked again with vasm which in vl64bit beta 2.5 is the new pyvasm and it showed cups as enabled.

I then checked in vasm-legacy and it showed cups was not enabled. After enabling cups both printer manager and system-config-printer worked as they should.
