Checking for presence of the file /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid to find out if cups is running is more robust in my opinion.
Anyway if you think lpstat -r needs to return nonzero value if cups isn't running this should be reported upstream to CUPS here: http://www.cups.org/str.php Please also add a link to the upstream str in this bug report. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Tags added: needs-upstream-report -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/814908 Title: lpstat should return failure when cupsd is not running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/814908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
