starting cups

[alexo]

Hello,

I've installed my printer HP ENVY 4500 multifunction and started cups as explained in the wiki.
all works perfectly.

but when I add the line:

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start
to bootlocal.sh and reboot, i get the following messages:

stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 3925)
rm: can't remove '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory[/code]

Is it my fault?

Do NOT use sudo in bootlocal.sh.  It is already running as root.

sudo is not necessary but doesn't harm.

ok sudo removed from bootlocal.sh, but the messages remain.

any clue?

I'm sure Juanito or someone else will be able to provide good assistance.
Curious, since you're using HP have you tried hplip.tcz?

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start

stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 3925)
rm: can't remove '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory

This message arises from the somewhat clumsy way that the cups init.d first checks if the dbus daemon is running and, if not, starts it.

Nothing to worry about

@nitram:

hplip is installed and perfectly working. The version number is a bit old, but my printer works perfectly [USB connected] didn't try to try it wirelessly
.
As stated in a former post, GTK+ or GTK2 softwares don't see my printer giving me just two options - print to file and LPR

@juanito:

ok I won't worry any further.
Just a memo - did you upload to the repository your updated version of laptop-tools?

thank you for your promptly replies.
Cheers


thank you all

as mentioned, laptop-mode-tools updated and posted to the repo
