@Finog Also: sudo /etc/init.d/cups start does the same job.
HOWEVER, when you reboot your machine, it will be disable again: Run: status cups and it will give you: cups stop/waiting I think (not sure): cupsd.conf (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf) must be configured to auto enable CUPS upon starting the system up so no need to keep manually running sudo start cups or sudo /etc/init.d/cups start I failed to learn how to edit that. There is a Question on AskUbuntu I have read it but I'm too tired and sleepy right now to understand everything (it is 4am my time). http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommended-way-to-enable-disable-services Thanks! @Erick We are not talking about the LiveCD or LiveUSB, we are talking about Lubuntu 13.04 after installation :) You can refer to my comment #7 - I have tested it on 4 different installations for Lubuntu 13.04 on two different machines, one has only one installation and the other machine has 3 installations, each on different partition and each installation was made by different approach (upgrade, alternate and desktop). :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1133794 Title: Printer not detected by system-config-printer 1.3.11 in Lubuntu 13.04 Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1) Raring daily Lubuntu 13.04 i386 2) system-config-printer 1.3.11 3) I expected the printer to be detected without a cups error. The printer was not detected. 4) 1) When selecting Printer from the System Tools menu the Printers-localhost dialog box appears with the following message. 'Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server.' 2) After clicking the connect button once the 'Connect to CUPS server' box appears. 3) After clicking the connect button on this message box the Cups server error box appears with the following dialog. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'failed to connect to server'.
