Hi.
Maybe someone can help me?
I want to save the printer settings and installed printer for later restore.
I backed up the / etc / cups and restored but it will not display any printer.
How is that possible in lucid528?
Greetings
Wolfgang

did you kill cupsd somehow ? does cupsd run in the background ?

cupsd is getting launched by /etc/init.d/cups at bootup .
cupsd might only parse the configuration files once at launch time and does not poll them anymore while running .
could do it if you restore the rueckauf file in the current session, while cupsd is running but does not look behind anymore into /etc/cups .

Hi Karl Godt,
das war ein guter Tip! Es läuft!
Weißt du vielleicht auch noch wie man die Auflösung mit einem Script einstellen kann?

Sounds good
If you make /etc/init.d/cups non-executable, it would not be launched at bootup by rc.services .
/etc/profile
/root/Startup
/root/.xinitrc
/usr/sbin/delayedrun
are files i could think of to implement something
like
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/cups stop
find /somewhere -name cups_backup_folder -exec cp -a --remove-destination "{}" /etc \;
/etc/init.d/cups start
