Sig-15 is sig-term, so that's a normal program termination. |

Did you configure cups? Unlike most services, there's really no sane way |
| 42 |
to have a valid initial configuration, given the vast number of printers |
| 43 |
out there, all with different drivers, so it has to be configured. My |
| 44 |
guess is that cupsd sees it has no valid printers setup, so lacking |
| 45 |
anything to do, it simply exits, thereby avoiding the unnecessary waste of |
| 46 |
resources sitting there doing nothing. |
