Linux newbie running a HDD install of Knoppix 3.2.
I get the following error when starting the KDE printing 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: the IPP request failed for an unknown reason.

When I try to browse http://localhost:631 I get the following error:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.

Running "/etc/init.d/cupsys start" gives the following response:
Starting CUPSys: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with status 98!
.
I have done an apt-get upgrade but it didn't help. I'm logged on as root.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?
