Hello, For a while I've been wondering why CUPS is so darned slow at startin up. The system boots just stops for about 11 seconds while the CUPS deamon is starting. I now believe that it is because it expects to find a network out there. Mine is a stadalone laptop with a PCMCIA network card which most of the time is out of the slots. Since there is not much output I cannot deterimine exactly why, when all the CUPS printers are declared as local and `Browsing' is `off' in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, CUPS is trying to access the network any way. This is not a current Cooker problem. I have raised this before 9.0 went out ! Can anyone shed any light on what is going on here ? Does any one else see CUPS as slow to get started ? Is the fact that there is a network device configured at all enough to cause CUPS to try and access it ? I don't want to remove / add any network configuration data every time I use the PCMCIA network card !
Thanks, Owen
