ubuntu 8.04 lts cups problem

[James R. Jones]

Hello,

I have a small problem, cups does not want to work.  When I go to system 
-> administration -> printing and click on go to server the connect to 
cups window server pops up with /var/run/cups/cups.sock and my username 
in the user name box.

The error message is the following:

CUPS  server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'

In the /var/log/messages the following appears when I restart the cupsys 
in init.d as root.

I have searched yahoo and google for a solution and cannot find a 
solution.  I have seen several messages similar to mine with no 
resolution.  I have even uninstalled cups and reinstalled cups to see if 
that would resolve the problem.  After coming to a dead end I turn to 
the list wizards for help.

Any help would be appreciated.
