Hello everyone,

I am a new Linux user and I am testing the above Knoppix 3.9 with Kernel
2.6.11 and KDE 3.4.

I cannot install any printer as I keep getting failure messages.

If I go: Control center --> Peripherals --> Printers

"Initializing manager"
-->
"Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly
installed and running. Error: connection refused."

I would assume that the CUPS server is not running. With most Linux distros,
this server would be started automatically if a printer is detected.

What does the command 'ps -ef|grep cups' in a Terminal/Konsole session tell
you?
