Well, this is strange.
Actually I left my installation of cups obtained from Apple's site and
installed that through dselect. When I ran cupsd from /etc/cups or from
/sw/sbin I would get the following error:
localhost ./cupsd: Unable to read configuration file
'${prefix}/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
BTW, I did check my hosts file and cups.conf file. everything was fine.
So, I decided to uninstall both installations and then reinstall just
using dselect.
Nonetheless, I get the exact same error.
Any clues now?
