It probably depends on how CUPS is started, but i suppose it is correct. Try changing that to 644 (rw-r--r--) and restart CUPS for a test - if the error mesage stays the same this is not the problem.

I think it is a permission error. Whast is wrong here -

Doesn't it state the reason clearly? "localhost refused to connect": i am not a Linux expert, but as far as i know CUPS opens a network connection to the system it runs on (localhost, or 127.0.0.1) and this obviously fails.

First: now, that the error message has changed it is established that your config file has some error in it. You can and should that correct later. Second: there is also this issue with the refused connection to localhost Possible reasons might be: a host-based firewall rule which prevents this connection, the CUPS process not being allowed to write to /tmp so that it can't create the socket (if i remember correctly it is done it /tmp in Linux).

I can't perhaps tell you all the possible reasons for this in an exhaustive list, but i think you get the gist of it: read the error messages, then try one possible reason after the other and resolve it testwise - if it helps or changes the error, you are one tep further, otherwise step back and repeat.

I hope this helps.
