Comment 2 for bug 37986

Hi Patrice,

not sure what configuration files exactly you need, please specify.

The process again is:

1. Start Firefox
2. Enter http://localhost:631
3. In the page titled "Common UNIX Printing System 1.2svn" click on the tab "Administration"
4. Select / Deselect from "Basic Server Settings"
5. Press "Change Settings"
6. A page titled "Change Settings" appears, asking to "stand by..."
7. A page titled "Unable to connect" appears.

Starting cups with "$ sudo cupsd" is required to get on.

The configuration file(from the admin interface ) shows:

Where the line "localhost - - [04/Apr/2006:11:55:01 +0200] "PUT /admin/conf/cupsd.conf HTTP/1.1" 401 0 - -" had been appearing >100 times before the first occurence.

On pressing "View error log" from the admin page, a page appears indicating "You have chosen to open error_log which is a BIN file, what should firefox do...

On pressing "Page log" from the admin page just two entries show:

Canon-PIXMA-iP4000 cjp 10 [04/Apr/2006:08:48:13 +0200] 1 1 - localhost
Canon-PIXMA-iP4000 cjp 10 [04/Apr/2006:11:37:28 +0200] 1 1 - localhost

Hope this clarifies.
