[olug] cups problem

[Don Kauffman]

Got it thanks to Eli and Dave! 

Changes I made 

Servername localhost instead of defaulting to hostname (it couldn't find
the Ip address for the hostname.) 

Listen to localhost:631 instead of *:631

after it still wouldn't work, I commented out Port 631.

It worked!! 

I'm saying what I did so that if anything I did looks like an
illegitmate hack please tell me now.  

Thanks!
