I used following workaround for the problem: Open a terminal and run: sudo visudo Then add a line like this at the end of the file: username ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/service
Of course changing username to the actual username. After that, that user should be able to run 'sudo service cups start' without supplying a password. Add a new startup application (system --> preferences --> startup applications) that executes the following command during login: sudo service cups start I find it a very important bug because it's basic printing functionality that doesn't work. I hope one can find as soon as possible a good solution so that above workaround isn't necessary anymore. With ubuntu lucid I've had also problems with other services that didn't startup automatically so it could be a more general problem. -- cups not starting at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
