How do I get cups to start at boot?

[Hammer]

How do I get cups to start at boot or when my default user logs on?
This is from my /etc/rc.d/rc.M file and it looks like its already set.

# Start the print spooling system. This will usually be LPRng (lpd) or CUPS.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups ]; then
# Start CUPS:
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
elif [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng ]; then
# Start LPRng (lpd):
. /etc/rc.d/rc.lprng start
fi

Thanks for any help.

Thats not working Thats exactly what I did like 3 times the other day and just now I tried it again exactly how you typed it, Rebooted and cups is still not starting up. Is there another way?
If i do
cd /etc/rc.d
./rc.cups
I can start it up manually but I dont want to do that every time I want to print something.
Thanks for the help.

try sysVinit and try adding it in early runlevels

Does hotplug need to be running or started at boot for the cups daemon to start?

Does hotplug need to be running or started at boot for the cups daemon to start?

No, it doesn't . hotplug is used to monitor if you plug in any USB devices or other pcmcia cards.

What distro are you using ?

To enable cups using your graphical interface (gnome)
to go->System Settings-> Server Settings->Services
and turn it on there.
Be sure you check it on both runlevel 3 as 5.

If you use the terminal type use: chkconfig
