Leap. Cups not working after upgrade from 13.1

English Applications

Yes, there is a bit more required. See my last post.

22

These two didn’t exist

/etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.path 

systemctl enable cups

does not create a

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service'

I was wrong it does create a cups service.
I might have taken a bit to propagate

Cups is still dead though. .

24

It did create a

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service

I did a

service cups start

and a reboot results are.

**linux-jf72:/home/ann #** systemctl status cups
cups.service - CUPS Printing Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled)
   Active: **active (running)** since Tue 2015-12-22 22:17:35 PST; 49s ago
 Main PID: 1659 (cupsd)
   CGroup: /system.slice/cups.service
           └─1659 /usr/sbin/cupsd -f

I’d say it’s resolved.
Thanks a bunch for persisting with me.

No, because you deleted them already :slight_smile:

systemctl enable cups

does not create a

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service'

Okay, create it manually like this

ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service

systemctl daemon-reload

This should survive a reboot.

Ok, that’s good to know. I’m glad to have been of help. I only hope there’s no other artefacts waiting to bite. :slight_smile:

She will likely not ever notice any.
She reads her email in Thunderbird and use the web browser.
Once and a while she uses the word processor.

Thanks a bunch again.

My pleasure. I haven’t seen anything quite like this problem before. Good to get a curve ball like this once in a while to keep us on our toes! :slight_smile:
