Bug Description
After the most recent set of updates, CUPS fails to start on boot if the "Publish shared printers" checkbox is checked. A /etc/init.d/cupsys restart works just fine, however.
TEST CASE:
1) Reboot your system and do
1a) ps uww -C cupsd
It should confirm that cupsd is running
1b) sudo apt-get install avahi-utils
avahi-browse -k -t -v -r -a
Does the output contain IPP printer entries representing the queues of your local CUPS daemon?
2) The boot problem may not appear on some machines at startup :
you should probably trigger it with
sudo nice -n 19 sh -c '/etc/init.d/cupsys stop && /etc/init.
that should confirm on the last line that cupsd is running
BTW, I have an i386 install and an AMD 64 install. This bug only shows up on my i386 box. (Both Ubuntu 7.10, fully updated)
