When I try to setup my printer, I have to start the rc.cups manualy. Is this normal with version2.0?

Fanthom pointed us over to this post and asked to check that rc.cups is executable by default in 32bit v2.0 which i can confirm.

Please give output (directly after boot) from:

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
During boot all executables in /etc/rc.d should be started. Do you have any extra modules that may be overwriting the existing default rc.cups file?
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.
