• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98428
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jiří Vyskočil 2005-09-06 05:56:57 UTC]

invoking "/etc/init.d/hplip start" won't start hpssd, leaving the service
stopped. however, if I run the services manually and then restart cups,
everything works fine. (everything done as root)


gt strazce # /etc/init.d/hplip start
* Starting hpiod ...                                                     [ ok ]
* Starting hpssd ...                                                     [ !! ]

- top shows no running hpiod process


gt strazce # /usr/sbin/hpiod
gt strazce # /usr/share/hplip/hpssd.py
