Cupsys Trouble

[tybasher]

I'm trying to install CUPS on my Ubuntu Server 9.04, and I cant seem to access it from the internet.

I ran cat /var/log/cups/error_log
and then this came up

my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is as followed:

Any suggestions/help? Much appreciated.

I don't know much about CUPS, but I can give some general advice.

I think the line "Bad Listen address 192.168.2.*:631 at line 17." is important.

Also, you've got two "Listen" statements with different IP addresses. I doubt you want that.

Listen 192.168.2.4:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
listen 192.168.2.1:631

You might have a deeper problem with your network configuration...can your client ping your host and vice versa? Make sure you have basic connectivity before trying to run services.
