cupsctl WebInterface=yes
I am unable to access the CUPS Web Interface so that I can change my printer settings, and it's pretty frustrating!
I am using OS X 10.9.4
If I go to http://127.0.0.1:631 or http://localhost:631I get the following error:
The web interface is currently disabled. Run "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" to enable it.
I have researched this on the web, and have found, and followed, various articles containing the following instructions to resolve it:
- Enable the root admin account
- Log in using the root account
- Open Terminal while logged in as the root account and enter the following:
- cupsctl WebInterface=yes
- sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
- I have receive the following message in Terminal when running these commands:
cupsctl: Internal Server Error
- I have restarted my Mac and ran them again and received the same error messages.
As I mentioned, I am still receiving unable to access the CUPS Web Interface.
Please help!
