I'm trying to restart cupsd but get this error,

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo service cups restart
Stopping cups: [FAILED]
Starting cups: cupsd: Child exited with status 1!

How do I kill a child.


----
sounds bad...don't ask it that way.

ps aux|grep cups

Is there something running?

Haven't we been down this path before?

Craig



Yes Craig we have visited a cups problem a month or so ago,
Cups worked well until a large update down loaded then printing
stopped.

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo ps aux|grep cups
david 7774 0.0 0.0 4044 676 pts/1 S+ 09:19 0:00
grep cups

[david@reddwarf ~]$

I looked through 'ps aux' and didn't find anything (not that means
anything)

of a cups child.

let's look at cups/error_log then.

tail -n 30 /var/log/cups/error_log

Craig



This error log is yesterdays and none for today although I have tried
printing today.

----
answer should be pretty obvious...

edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

line 11 should be...

DefaultAuthType Basic

Craig



Line 11 was "DefaultAuthType Xb9c"
I changed it to "DefaultAuthType Basic"


Ignore my post about losing this email, I found it in 'Trash'

david




It seem that 'DefaultAuthType Basic' did the job as I am now printing again.
Thanks Craig. [Until the next time :-)) ]
