command not found

Can anyone here tell me why I would be getting this command line output ?

I am attempting to install a HP C3180 PhotoSmart.

have you checked if you have cups startup script by running

ls -l /etc/init.d/cups

ls -l /etc/init.d/cups

that command wont work...

ls lists directory contents. You can't ask it to only list a file in a dir....



To the poster:

Are you a sudoer? By the way you wrote that sudo command it sounds like you are a Ubuntu user. Its ok most Ubuntu users cant find their way into the Ubuntu forum.

But assuming that you are using a RedHat/Fedora/CentOS Linux distro and that you are a sudoer that has been granted rights to run init scripts as root...

Than perhaps you are trying to run the /etc/init.d/cupsd script...

you might want to read some man pages again. ls can be used on directories, files , links and what not.

sudo is not proper to Ubuntu.
if he is not on the sudolist the system will complain about that fact not throwing a "command not found" error

Read what I said about sudo.

Now explain the difference between files, links, FIFOs and sockets.

Your right about ls though. My mistake... i guess I am just too used to piping ls to grep.
