Hi,
I have installed K Ubuntu version 7.10. My office network has a
network printer - HP laserjet 1022. I tried configuring the printer
through the system setting.
Initially the system let me configure the printer but it did not print
the test page.
Then I deleted that printer and tried the same thing again but then
got this message

error: /var/run/cups/cups.sock: connection refused (10)

So I restarted my PC and now it tells me that there is no such
printer. I have two more PCs in the office one running Windows XP and
one running an old version of Red Hat.
The printer works just fine for both of them.

Any ideas

Thanks in advance
Vivek

Shot in the dark: Ensure your firewall isn't blocking CUPS.

Maurice Thanks
- Ubuntu comes with a HPLIP toolbox which did the configuration for
me. Though I still have no clue as to what I did wrong back there:-))
