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

Binary package hint: cupsys

/usr/bin/system-config-printer (in gutsy System>Administration>Printing), when I try to connect to my other gutsy pc I get the following error:

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

After a clean gutsy install on both PCs, sharing the printer was hassle free and almost automatic, a few system updates later and I can't print remotely anymore.

I noticed I cannot navigate to http://location_of_printer:631 from the remote PC either, maybe port 631 is now being blocked?

It seems to be an issue with sharing the printer.

It seems to be an issue with sharing the printer.

I have exactly the same problem described here.

Editing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to default deny sharing allowed me to use /usr/bin/system-config-printer, and also allowed local printing.
