[ubuntu-uk] Cups Error 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'

[Liam Wilson]

Hey all;
    I've just bought myself a new Kodak ESP 3 all in one printer, and 
upon opening the printer configuration Dialogue to see if there are 
drivers available for it, I find the 'New' button is grayed out. I then 
went to Server -> Connect and selected 'localhost' as my print server. 
After frying to connect to it, I get the error

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

What can be done to resolve this error, as I need this printer to work 
for my ICT course.

Many, many thanks;
Liam Wilson
