When I run into this, I cheat. If you look in /var/lib/init.d/started |
| 40 |
you will notice a symbolic link cupsd, and the existence of that link is |
| 41 |
what triggers the "already started" message. If it really isn't running, |
| 42 |
if you remove this link (rm /var/lib/init.d/started/cupsd), then |
| 43 |
"/etc/init.d/cupsd start" should start it normally. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
There are doubtless more elegant ways to handle the problem, and there are |
| 46 |
doubtless more prefered ways to handle it, but the little cheat I just |
| 47 |
mentioned works for me(tm). |
