Jose,
I tried the cups-1.1.18-r5 version that did work in the past and that
is no help. Interestingly, the Child exited error has changed from
ststus 99 to status 98. I googled the error and found at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-faq.html#q_4_2
Section 4: CUPS Errors
4.2 cupsd: Child exited with status 98!?
Another process is using the port that cupsd listens to (default
631). It might be the rpc.rquotad deamon. Either disable this deamon
or make sure cupsd starts before nfs.
There is no rpc.rquotad deamon running or even in /etc/init.d
and nfs-utils is not emerged. I tried emerge -C cups and emerging the
1.1.18-r5 version that worked in the past. I'm confused.
Thanks
