After installing and staarting CUPS. When I go to SETTINGS > Peripherals > printers I get: 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: localhost: read failed (14). If I use LPR/LPRng things seem to be going well until I get to the screen asking for URI: I have no clue as to what it is asking for. HELP Bob Falanga
