Possible upstream? Connecting to http://localhost:631/ with a browser should put me into the CUPS web interface, but instead I see html source. This occurs because cupsd responds to the HTTP GET with headers that include "content-type: text/plain" instead of the expected "text/html". I've pasted an ethereal capture of the conversation. This was functional the last time I added a printer, but I can't say for sure what version of cups that was (I update pretty regularly; it was somewhere in the vicinity of 2-3 weeks ago.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge cups 2. firefox http://localhost:631/ 3. Actual Results: raw html source presented as ASCII Expected Results: loaded the CUPS web interface as html conversation snapshot, courtesy of tcpdump and ethereal: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:631 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050518 Firefox/1.0.4 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 17:18:52 GMT Server: CUPS/1.1 Connection: Keep-Alive Keep-Alive: timeout=60 Content-Language: en_US Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Last-Modified: Mon, 23 May 2005 15:44:56 GMT Content-Length: 1604 <HTML> <HEAD> .<TITLE>Common UNIX Printing System</TITLE> .<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="cups.css"> .<MAP NAME="navbar"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="12,10,50,20" HREF="http://www.easysw.com" ALT="Easy Software Products Home Page"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="82,10,196,20" HREF="/admin" ALT="Do Administration Tasks"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="216,10,280,20" HREF="/classes" ALT="Manage Printer Classes Status"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="300,10,336,20" HREF="/documentation.html" ALT="On-Line Help"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="356,10,394,20" HREF="/jobs" ALT="Manage Jobs"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="414,10,476,20" HREF="/printers" ALT="Manage Printers"> ..<AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="496,10,568,20" HREF="http://www.cups.org" ALT="Download the Current CUPS Software"> </MAP> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#cccc99" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#FF00FF"> <CENTER> <IMG SRC="/images/navbar.gif" WIDTH="583" HEIGHT="30" USEMAP="#navbar" BORDER="0" ALT="Common UNIX Printing System"> </CENTER> <H1><A HREF="admin">Do Administration Tasks</A></H1> <H1><A HREF="classes">Manage Printer Classes</A></H1> <H1><A HREF="documentation.html">On-Line Help</A></H1> <H1><A HREF="jobs">Manage Jobs</A></H1> <H1><A HREF="printers">Manage Printers</A></H1> <H1><A HREF="http://www.cups.org">Download the Current CUPS Software</A></H1> <HR> <P>The Common UNIX Printing System, CUPS, and the CUPS logo are the trademark property of <A HREF="http://www.easysw.com">Easy Software Products</A>.

Yep, same problem here. Pages are being served as plain/text, causing mozilla, firefox, epiphany and lynx to refuse to render them. Web administration interface is now completely unusable.
NB: backing off to -r2 ("emerge =cups-1.1.23-r2") makes the problem go away.
Backing off to -r2 ("emerge =cups-1.1.23-r2") did NOT fix this problem for me.
Funnily enough, it did work for me. But, looking at the difference in the ebuilds, I have no idea why it should... I've just tried r3 again and it appears to be working for me now. Has the ebuild been changed since the last time, I wonder? (No way of checking here.) Phil
It looks like something zapped /etc/cups/mime.types -- re-emerging brings it back.
remerge cups, works here then
Remerging doesn't help me. Problem is still the same, even after deleting /etc/cups and remerging.
