Hello,

I have a small problem, cups does not want to work. When I go to system
-> administration -> printing and click on go to server the connect to
cups window server pops up with /var/run/cups/cups.sock and my username
in the user name box.

The error message is the following:

CUPS server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'

In the /var/log/messages the following appears when I restart the cupsys
in init.d as root.

I have searched yahoo and google for a solution and cannot find a
solution. I have seen several messages similar to mine with no
resolution. I have even uninstalled cups and reinstalled cups to see if
that would resolve the problem. After coming to a dead end I turn to
the list wizards for help.

Any help would be appreciated.
