Cups

Hello all, I am trying to get my HP Printer set up with my computer. I have cups, ghostscript and the fonts setup, I modprobed my printer and I went into the rc.conf to have lp automatically load every time linux boots up. But when I run cups by typing this:

$ /etc/rc.d/cups start

It returns this:

:: Starting CUPS Daemon                                                  [BUSY]
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!                                      [FAIL]

What does this mean?

Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Cups

Check your logs under /var/log/cups, they might have more useful information.
