Description Henrique Rodrigues 2005-03-23 16:28:48 UTC 
If cupsd is not running, gnome-cups-add crashes. As cups is not automatically started by default, an ordinary GNOME user can't install a printer and there is no indication what to do.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure cupsd is not running
2. run gnome-cups-add
3.

Actual Results:  
gnome-cups-add crashed

Expected Results:  
should open gnome-cups-add

Comment 1 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 19:48:32 UTC 
Not quite, gnome-cups-add doesn't require cupsd to be running, only gnome-cups-manager does. If you're going to be administering the CUPS system then you probably need the daemon running.

I'm not quite sure what the bug is here, gnome-cups-add doesn't crash for me, it works fine, so I can only guess it's about adding cupsd to the default runlevel, which is an item for local system administration.

Thanks.
