  I have tried to install cupsys and hplip. Then I have tried to
  install the printer (and the fax) by means of the web interface.
  Initially the web interface works, but when I want to change the
  settings I get an error:
  "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:631"
  Simultaneously I get (in the console) another error:

  cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' -
  exiting!
  I enclose my file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
