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". 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.
