So I have a question - When I configure a printer via YaST, and get all done, is not YaST suppose to restart the CUP'S daemon? I should think so! The fact that it doesn't cost me a LOT of debugging time. I finally gave up on trying to use YaST and configured the CUP's server by hand. Once I got CUP'S up an running I discovered that YaST was NOT starting up the CUP's server daemon, by finally realizing that something was terribly unexpected was happening after using YaST, and by subsequently checking with an "rccups status". So, I am having to do an "rccups start" each and every time after I use YaST to configure my printer! (which starts the CUP's daemon without any problem) Why should I have to do this? Am running SuSE 11.0. x86_64 architecture. If this was the way YaST was designed, then someone needs to have their head examined! The pattern for configuring any other server, that I use, has been to restart the daemon for it automatically, when finished. And if YaST is suppose to restart the CUP'S daemon, why doesn't it check to verify that the daemon did indeed successfully restart, and report to the user, via a clear warning message, that the restart failed? I looked at the y2log file, which is about as clear and understandable as mud, and see several messages generated by something called Crash.ycp.. Are these failure messages? Such as - 2009-11-05 09:41:29 <1> marcslaptop(13748) [YCP] Crash.ycp:51 Read settings: $["all_failed":["printer.ycp"], "last_done":"printer_detection", "last_failed":["printer.ycp"]] 2009-11-05 09:41:29 <1> marcslaptop(13748) [YCP] Crash.ycp:68 Written settings: $["all_failed":[], "last_done":"printer.ycp", "last_failed":[]] If so, this is an ugly way to report a problem to a user! IMHO. I usually grep such log files for words like "Error" or "Warning" or even "[E]" and "[W]" with is sometimes used. And if these are error messages, then they give no guidance to a user has to how to fix such the problem...
