An event worth blogging about. I scored another victory in my struggle against my FreeBSD machine. I'd gotten CUPS working, but I still had two major problems. On the web interface, all the buttons that control my printer were broken, because the links had started http://::1 instead of http://localhost. After a significant amount of time, I learned that this is ipv6 notation, and if I understand correctly, incorrect ipv6 notation. It should be [::1]. I found a fix/workaround on the CUPS website, which said to add 'HostNameLookups On' to cupsd.conf.
There's still another problem--the HP backend keeps failing. Usually when I get ready to print it doesn't work and when I log in to cups, that's the error that greets me. When I tried to restart the printer, I'd have to wrestle with problem #1, so that makes things easier. I'll try to work on the backend problem later, especially since it seems to be worst with my daughter's computer, and she's the one who prints the most.
