How to make 'cups' a daemon process?
I am having a problem with making 'cups' a startup service.
I attatched an HP1160 to my Ubuntu box and shared it with other PCs in the same subnet. It worked fine. But later on, I find that I have to start manually the '/etc/init.d/cups' service script every time I reboot the system.
My first reaction was to add 'cups' to '/etc/init.d/' but it was already there! And there are symbolic links named 'S50cups' under /etc/rc[2-5].d.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What distro are you using?
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I expected it to work. But strangely it did not. Karmic Koala is shipped with a GUI tool named 'system-config-printer'. However, it was not until I installed 'cupsd' manually that the GUI configuration tool detected the printer.
Does this imply anything?
