Re: CUPS refuses to start

By starting it manually, and not by starting its service, but by calling the binary itself, directly.

Re: CUPS refuses to start

I've been able to get it running now, did as told in the wiki (copied a new config file)
and i can now print test pages from the web interface, but some of my applications(evince and gthumb viewer) don't allow me to press the print button when i select my printer
while printing from open office isn't a problem, very weird

Re: CUPS refuses to start

If you search the forum you'll find there's a problem with printing PDF files.
