[SOLVED] Strange CUPSD errors...

After reading through the Arch Linux Printing howto (which is great, btw), I have been experiencing two strange errors in my CUPS log whenever I print a page. Unfortunately, a Google search didn't turn much up for either...

1.) "E [07/Mar/2012:22:34:48 -0800] [Job XX] Failed to connect to system bus"

Test pages, webpages, images, etc. print out correctly and reliably. I am using the Gutenprint driver for my HP LaserJet 1300.

2.) "W [07/Mar/2012:22:35:07 -0800] Avahi client failed: -26"

No idea on this one, except that Avahi is required by CUPS.

I am running Linux 3.2.9 and the latest stable (non-test) Arch Linux packages for CUPS, ghostscript, gutenprint, and gsfonts.

Ultimately, I will be sharing this printer with SAMBA. It was previously installed on a Debian box with the same configuration above, but none of the aforementioned errors (1.4.x version of CUPS though)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Strange CUPSD errors...

Thanks to David Batson for his excellent post at: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109570

I didn't realize that I had to start dbus and avahi-daemon manually.

I added both to my /etc/rc.d and ran them manually with:

rc.d start dbus
rc.d start avahi-daemon

And the problem went away!
