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.
You have to run the command as the root user. You can do this by typing su - or sux - into the bash shell and then supply the root password. rccups is a shortcut for /etc/init.d/cups but can only be run by the root user.

Sorry, I've been asleep, then at work.. :-) I managed to run rccups start, and I also went into the print manager via the "start" menu and tried a restart. When I try to print the job joins the queue, but won't move to the printer. I copied the log file (below), but it doesn't mean anything to me. :-( I've been reading the docs but there is so much information on CUPS that I am becoming confused. I am not sure if this has confused the issue or not, but when I was setting up my IDSL I entered the name of my ISP (exetel) into a field where it requested "server", and since then the Konsole prompt for root has been exetel. I am wondering how I replace that, and how it might effect my system. Newbie is a bit scared to make changes. Oh, I just thought: maybe Yast is failing because of the same reason. ???
