Hi Guys,
Running Q4OS, i7 10Gb ram, HP8300 machine.
For some reason when I do "http://me@localhost:630/admin" it can take
up to 30 minutes before "CUPS 1.7.5 comes up.
The message "localhost contacted, waiting for reply" is shown and a
spinner icon.
Even when it does it can take a similar time to open a page.
Than clicking on "Manage Printers" when it does come up says "Printer
Error" "Unable to get printer list" But my printer is shown on the
Administration page.
I can't print anything any more !
Help please. The Q4OS forum where I was pointed to have not helped at
all.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hi!
Yes, they look perfectly fine. I do not know Q4OS, so this is just what I would do:
- is cups up an running before you open the browser and open the link to cups?
- if it's up and running, does it listen on port 631?
- what does top say to the cups process?
- look at the network traffic with tcpdump or wireshark

I don't think "lan" would be valid in the search directive, only a domain.
I only put nameserver directives in my resolv.conf files, I don't
particularly want that behaviour, at least not unless I actually had a
domain that directive could catch. See, what happened to you is, you typed
an improperly formatted address (not a fully qualified domain) so your
resolver was trying to append .lan to your http://localhost.

My guess would be that your domain is somewhere specified as "lan" and your
network manager is inserting that into the search directive. It will be a
dynamically generated file. This is how it works, quoting the man page for
resolv.conf:
"search Search list for host-name lookup.
The search list is normally determined from the local domain
name; by default, it contains only the local domain name. This may be
changed by listing the desired domain search path following
the search keyword with spaces or tabs separating the names.
Resolver queries having fewer than ndots dots (default is 1) in them will
be attempted using each component of the search path in
turn until a match is found. For environments with multiple
subdomains please read options ndots:n below to avoid man-in-the-middle
attacks and unnecessary traffic for the root-dns-servers.
Note that this process may be slow and will generate a lot of
network traffic if the servers for the listed domains are not local, and
that queries will time out if no server is available for
one of the domains."
Now, a problem that you're going to have is that your Network Manager may
regenerate that file. The /etc/resolv.conf may likely be a symbolic link.
What I do on distros that generate that file is remove the symlink, make
/etc/resolv.conf a real file, and set it "chattr +i" (immutable attribute)
so nothing can modify it. That's off grid and may have consequences if you
set up a new connection with a network manager that needs different DNS
servers so you'd have to keep that in mind. I use OpenDNS servers anyway,
so regardless of any connection that's what I'd want:
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 192.168.0.1
With my own router to fall back on, which has, you guessed it, OpenDNS
servers configured within it.
