Hi, I had CUPS installed, up and running. Suddenly I get the message that cups is NOT running, and that there are no printers. I checked: rpm -q cups and it is still there. How do I start it? Regards, Colin
rccups start would be the easiest as long as there are no problems with cups itself.
Sorry, I don't understand you. I don't recognise rccups (and neither does bash?) Another hint please, remember I'm a newbie. I set up cups so long ago that I've just been relying on it "being there".

/usr/sbin/rccups -> /etc/init.d/cups check you have those two, just thought may be you are trying rccups as a user, you need to be root as /usr/sbin is not in your PATH as user. # ps fax|grep cupsd 9669 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
