On my upgraded Karmic I had this problem. I was unable to print or configure my printer until I manually started cupsd. CUPS was never started on boot.
I noticed that /etc/rc2.d didn't have a link for CUPS. For some reason I couldn't make the link with update-rc.d (it made the links for other runlevels, though). After I created the link with "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/cups /etc/rc2.d/S50cups" printing works after boot as expected. I don't know how printing on my system would have worked earlier since I've never had a printer before Karmic. -- CUPS not start automatically https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
