How do I get cups to start at boot?

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.

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups

Thanks. :)

OOPS! That didnt work. Where is it that I place that?

command line

su -
passwd

cd
cd /etc/rc.d
chmod +x rc.cups

Let me know

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

Where is sysVinit? I know, I should know that. LOL :)

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
