Greetings !!
I checked if the symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants, /etc/systemd/system/printer.target.wants and /etc/systemd/system/socket.target.wants were set and they are.
Funny thing some of them have ///lib/systemd/system/… target instead of /lib/systemd/system/…
I have to run the cupsd using init.d.
Is there a way to have the cupsstarted up at boot as chkconfig -l asks.
cups 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
cups-lpd: off
For information; I tried with cups-lpd on but it’s the same behavior, cups is dead when calling cupsd status as I just get a console on X after login.Lot of things have changed I jumpedfrom 11.4 to 12.2 and I have to retrieve my marks ^^
Try
systemctl enable cups.service
then
systemctl start cups.service
After a reboot, cupsd should be running. Check via systemd with
systemctl status cups.service
antares:/var/log # systemctl status cups.service
cups.service - CUPS Printing Service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/cups.service

That’s all I have…
lpq shows nothing and firefox http://localhost:631 shows nothing (address not found – 404)
/var/log/cups/error_log
E [08/Mar/2014:15:49:02 +0100] Unable to bind socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Cannot assign requested address.

I opened 'custom rule" the udp/tcp port 631 in iptables for all networks (0.0.0.0)
Are these informations could explain what is going on ?
It is said that newer versions of cups activates the daemon if only one printer is connected… as a “hotplug”.
I just plugged on my printer… and cups is activated.
That’s what I said: jumping from 11.4 to 12.2 has it’s bunch of surprises ^^
This thread is now closed/solved.

Try google for that message. It rings a bell.

Sounds like you’re still playing catch up. Services are now managed by systemd, and a move was made to socket-activation (some time back), although there has been recent developer debate about whether it should be used or not. (FWIW, I have cups.service configured to start up without using socket-activation, so that it is running at boot.)
