I have managed to install hplip and it's dependencies and I set the
printer up with CUPS and printed a test page.
Kernel = 2.6.12.5
Build = BLFS-SVN (20060411) when I started
CUPS is installed and functioning (used BLFS bootscript)
HPLIP-0.9.10 with dependencies listed at hplip.sourceforge.net installed
I read somewhere (can't remember the link) that hplip must be started
before cups.
I have looked at the /etc/inittab that was created during LFS and found
this line:
id:3:initdefault: so if I understand this correctly, my system boots
into rin level 3 (multi-user mode with networking)
Looking at /etc/rc.d/rc3.d (command ls -l) I see (among other items)
S25cups -> ../init.d/cups
I managed to find the script supplied with the hplip-0.9.10 sources
(hplip.sh) and I copied (not moved in case of error on my part):
cp hplip.sh /etc/rc.d/init.d/hplip (done as root) and made it
executable: chmod +x hplip
Now here is where I am stuck:
Do I only need to created this one link in rc3.d: ln -s ../init.d/hplip
S23hplip (I am using S23 because it is before S25)
- or - do I need to create simlinks in the other runlevels as well?
I don't plan on installing the desktop environment until then end but
when I do that and change the /etc/inittab to "5" instead of "3" am I
right in thinking that I will have to create ln -s ../init.d/hplip
S23hplip in rc5.d as well?
My reason for asking is that I have viewed each one of the links in the
various rc?.d directories and I noticed many of them appear more than
once and I just want to make sure of doing this correctly. Also, if I
have and "S" for start to I also need a corresponding "K" for kill (stop)?
Thanks,
