In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I had the line:




Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock




But this "file" was in /run/cups/cups.sock (not in /var).
After changing cupsd.conf, I can now see the cups printer in the print dialog.
Why is the caps.sock file in /run/cups?



In /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket
there is a line: ListenStream=/run/cups/cups.sock



So there seems something to be mixed up.



(ubuntu 17.10 with gnome, cups 2.2.4)

  • I cant answer this completely because I use Ubuntu Studio 16.04 which might be slightly different, but I found that /var/run is a symbolic link to /run on my system.
