CUPS Help
OK - I think CUPS is installed but either it's not enabled or something is wrong.
1 - How can I verify if CUPS is installed and if so, working? 2 - How do I start and stop the service? Code:
workstation:/# whereis cups |
Look for cupsd.
And if you're using debian, try something like "/etc/init.d/cupsd start" I believe. |
Code:
workstation:/home/carlos# /etc/init.d/cupsd start I do find this... Code:
workstation:/home/carlos# whereis cups |
As root - try:
which cupsd if this is not there than the file in /etc is just there from a previous cups-install and did not get removed. Can't you check with dselect or apt if it is indeed installed? Or install it again? |

Code:
carlos@workstation:~$ su - I need to map a network printer which wont work unless I have cups running. I tried searching for it with APT-GET and found this...but I don't know if this is what I need or something else. Code:
cupsys - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server |

Code:
workstation:~# which cupsd When I was using Debian - years ago... - I was always using the tool "dselect" to install software. It is a text-mode interface to the package management system and lets you see which packages are installed and which are not. It also shows you descriptions of each package and installs packages which the one you want to install depends on. I found dselect to be the most sophisticated tool...later came apt and different frontends. I'm not familiar with Debian anymore, but I'm sure they have very good documentation on what tools they provide to install and maintain the software on your machine. |
