    dcp-130c printer won't start

    I fitted a new hard drive over christmas and have had to re-install the lpr and cups drivers, i have followed the procedure that i normally use which always works until now.
    I am unable to get into the web page localhost 631 but all the settings seem to be there in the system-printer settings.
    Tried cupsd this produced a child excited 1 does anybody know what this refers to or could advise me on what may be missing. I am using Kubuntu feisty 7.04

    cheers

    Not sure, but it sounds like CUPS might not be running.

    Restart CUPS with the following command:

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
    If that doesn't work, try reinstalling CUPS.

    In Kubuntu, I think it would be:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install cups
