Also had this issue. The problem here is that one or some of the configuration utilities (could be hplip tools also) restarts cups at some point by calling /etc/init.d/cups restart. Since cups startup scripts were converted to upstart jobs, at the moment of restart upstart will notice that there is no more daemon running and will start it. So does old Sys V script. You could easy reproduce the problem by issuing /etc/init.d/cups restart from command line. The result will be two instances of cupsd running.
The solution is simple: get rid of old init scripts and create symlinks to /lib/init/upstart-job in init.d. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273907 Title: multiple cups daemons running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1273907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
