CUPS starting automatically ?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

openSUSE 12.3

Whenever I have to reboot, or turn my PC off and back on, I always have to restart CUPS manually and I would like to make that more automatic.
I don’t know how to do that nor do I know why it does not do it anyway.

My way of starting CUPS is to go into Yast and try and print a test page. Yast will then ask me if I want to start CUPS.
There has to be a better way.

thanks

This should do the job:


su -c 'systemctl enable cups.service'
#3

Thank you for this.

However is there a way to automate this ?
Is there a script file that runs at startup where I can embed this code ?
Hmmm, I wonder if Google will tell me.

You only need to run this ONCE.
It tells the system to start cups.service at boot automatically.

#5

Well, I’ll be darned.
Very slick.

You can do the same thing (i.e. Enable/Disable cups and other services) in YaST->System->Services Manager, btw. :wink:

There has been a package update about this issue. I saw it yesterday.
