Try running openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365 -out server.crt
-keyout server.key
(install openssl package first)
inside of /etc/cups/ssl (you may need to make this directory) moreover
you'll need
to make the permissions something like 0600 and ownerships should
coincide with
directory...

>As noted against #42802 we had troubles printing from a computer upgraded from breezy to dapper. I decided to upgrade the server to dapper as well in the belief this will simply fix the problem - and it made things worse. I now have a print job stuck with the job status reporting as "stopped at novalue" (this is on the printer status page http://vale:631/printers/Laserjet2550L where "vale" is the server's name of course). Attempting to cancel this job results in a page requesting "426 upgrade required" redirecting to the https equivalent, and clicking on this link goes nowhere- the browser waits apparently forever After this cupsd appears to hang and does not respond to any further requests of any kind (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart brings it back).
