cups degradation

I have installed slitaz-4.0 by the installer from an iso-file;

then I installed cups - all went well. The 'lpr -P printer file' worked ok.

But after rebooting the system the same printer command answered: 'Connection refused' and

the browser couldn't be connected to localhost:631 too.

After installing cups again all went well again!

This behaviour was reproducible.

Some ideas what went wrong ?

Re: cups degradation

Hi,

I guess the cups daemon is not running.

To confirm my assumption, what output do you get if you try to stop cups daemon using this command (as root):

root@slitaz:~# /etc/init.d/cupsd stop

Re: cups degradation

Hi stephane,

the stop command answered: Cupsd ... terminated;

I started the daemon again and cups worked fine;

thank you for the hint - but the remedy ?

Re: cups degradation

Does your /etc/rcS.conf contain the word <cupsd>?

If not, please edit your /etc/rcS.conf file (using a text editor) and add [c]cupsd[/c] to the end of RUN_DAEMONS line as shown here:

[c]RUN_DAEMONS="dbus hald slim cupsd"[/c]
