Is CUPS running on your system? Run the following commands in a terminal window and post the output here:
ps auxwww | grep cupsd lpstat -r sudo /etc/init.d/cups start Now CUPS should be running. Start system-config-printer again. Now you should be able to add a printer. If CUPS does not start during boot, make sure you have all updates for Lucid installed. If updating does not help, uninstall plymouth. See bug 554172. If these instructions solve your problem your bug is a duplicate of that bug. Otherwise, please check whether your account is in the "lpadmin" group, also attach the files /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, /etc/cups/printers.conf, /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd, /etc/samba/smb.conf Also supply an error_log as described in the "CUPS error_log" section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems. This could show problems of the CUPS daemon perhaps erroring out or crashing shortly after the start. ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Package changed: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) => cups (Ubuntu) -- Add printer disabled, even for root/admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631699 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
