I've recently upgraded my two ubuntu boxes from breezy to dapper, on the x86
box I had the following problem trying to configure printing:
Setting up cupsys (1.2.0-0ubuntu5) ...
* Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cupsys-driver-gutenprint:
cupsys-driver-gutenprint depends on cupsys (>= 1.1.23) | cups (>= 1.1.23);
however:
Package cupsys is not configured yet.
Package cups is not installed.
dpkg: error processing cupsys-driver-gutenprint (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
cupsys
cupsys-driver-gutenprint
There was no problem in this are on the PPC machine. The major difference in
configuration is that the x86 has a local printer and has been set up to accept print
job from other boxes on the local network, while the PPC has only remote printers
(the one on the aforementioned x86 and the printers at work).
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Or should I go ahead and report a bug?
TIA
James
