    cups not starting

    cups does not start with the server. When I try to start from the terminal I get the error message

    cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
    cupsd: Child exited with status 1!

    The log files show nothing. cupsd.conf exists. It is user - root and group - root with permissions set at 0644.

    My interpretation of this is that the program is not launching from either boot or terminal for a fundamental reason. I do not quite see what that reason is ..

    What did I not do correctly this time? Any suggestions welcome.

    just took a look at dpkg -s cupsys. The output seems to suggest that everything is fine.

    So I am not sure ... does anyone know if this could be related to Groups membership?

    I just found that I made a typo that was hard to spot but good enough to stop the show.
