Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and put a line: LogLevel debug in there. It's probably currently set to LogLevel info Start cups in the foreground, rather than using the init scripts, so you know it's running /usr/sbin/cupsd -f -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (your paths may be different from mine as I am not on a Debian OS here) Then in another terminal tail your system log. That should tell you why cupsd is exiting. tail -n 300 -f /var/log/messages Seb. -- Embedded Software Foundry Ltd.
