hi there,

i think your cups is started to early in the boot-sequence.
to try you could comment-out the cups-call in /etc/rc.d/rc.M and copy it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

hi,
glad it works, you can go with that for a while . but it is not the solution, it's a workaround.
if i were you i would like to know what causes the prob.
there must be something in your boot-sequence after the cups-call that should happen before the cups-call.
but as all works, just keep it in mind ( things todo.....) and take a look at it on a boring day ...

good luck
