Hi Don Myers and everyone experiencing this problem, Perhaps you can reboot several times, get to a boot where printers do not show up in System->Administration->Printers.
Then: 1. at terminal do: 'sudo start rc-sysinit' (without quotes). this command should start any processes/services that did not start at boot time. note the time that you executed this command. 2. at terminal do: 'ps aux' 3. look for processes/services that started at the time you executed 'sudo start rc-sysinit'. the 9th column in the output is the time when the processes/service started. if it equals the time that you executed 'sudo start rc-sysinit', this means this process/service(s) did not start like they should at boot. 4. Please post those processes/services here. -- cups not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
