I followed the detailed instructions in the post at this link by Luis Alvarado which explained in detail how to share a printer in Ubuntu 12.04.

Everything worked as it was supposed to after following the directions.

My problem is, when I go back to Printers-Server-Settings, I get the following dialog;

CUPS server error There was an HTTP error: Not found.

Printing still seems to be working but if I want to stop the print server for this printer, how do I reverse the settings I turned on if I can't get to them?

In case it matters, this installation of Ubuntu has HPLIP 3.14.6 installed on. I assume CUPS is also installed since I see a webpage show up if I go to http://localhost:631. I believe it said 1.53 I think.

I am new to Linux so if any other info is needed, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks for any and all help.

  • Do you mean running Printing and then choosing Server-> Settings? – Elder Geek Aug 06 '14 at 20:57
  • I am sorry for not being clear. Yes, I went to the Gear icon in upper right, then selected Printers (I believe that is what it was called - I could also find the same by going to the Gear then selecting System Properties I think and then selecting Printers) and from here went to the upper left of the screen where it showed Printing I think. This displayed 2 menus, one being Server. Under this Server menu is where I found the Settings. When I try to open this menu item, this is where I am now getting the error message. – CBR954RR Aug 07 '14 at 14:56

I had this problem as well; from what I've seen it is a recent problem with CUPS that will be patched soon. In the meantime, I was able to do everything I needed by:

1) Pointing my browser at localhost:631, this will bring up CUPS' web interface. 2) Clicking the 'administration' tab. this will give you the ability to edit all options found in printers-server-settings.

    Thanks very much for this tidbit of info. I appreciate it very much. Since I don't much at all about Linux, what I can't find when doing a search, I turn to folks like you to enlighten me.

    Thanks again for your help.
