I have a fresh installation of xfce4 on two boxes (AMD quad core and ATOM 330), both with xfce4; cupsd is in rc-config "default" on both boxes and boots indicate that cupsd started OK but when I try to connect to: localhost:631 it does not run. /etc/inid.d/cupsd status * status: stopped When I start it manually, it starts and I can connect to localhost:631 There are no error messages so I have nothing to go on (cups emerges without errors) The problem is intermittent, at boot time the cupsd shows mounting status OK every time, and when I log in, sometimes the process run OK, but most of the time "cupsd" process does not start. I think it could be related to xfce4 as cups is running OK on my other boxes running kde. I'm using baselayout-1.12.13 I used current cups-1.3.11 but tried as well cups-1.4.2-r1 same problem.

I've tried to delay cups start up script: cupsd depend() { use net need dbus after * } but it make no difference it boot show it started OK but the process is not running.
Can any of you try it: open a tab in firefox "localhost:631" (without closing the firefox) restart your computer (so the firefox will be open when you next time login) Is the cups still running after restarting? The cupsd is closed by: "cupsdAcceptClient: 11" ??? Here is a log from cups error.log: D [19/Jan/2010:09:39:59 -0700] cupsdAcceptClient: 11 from localhost:631 (IPv4) D [19/Jan/2010:09:39:59 -0700] cupsdReadClient: 11 GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 D [19/Jan/2010:09:39:59 -0700] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

How about changing LogLevel to 'debug' in your cupsd.conf, and then attach logs from a working KDE startup vs a broken xfce4 startup
I just change "info" to "debug" in cupcd.conf and cupsd sript to --verbose here is the output: Code: I [19/Jan/2010:09:39:31 -0700] Listening to ::1:631 (IPv6) I [19/Jan/2010:09:39:31 -0700] Listening to 127.0.0.1:631 (IPv4) I [19/Jan/2010:09:39:31 -0700] Listening to /var/run/cups/cups.sock (Domain) I [19/Jan/2010:09:39:31 -0700] Remote access is disabled.

Here are steps to reproduce this "bug" (only on XFCE4): 1.) open firefox tab "localhost:631" (don't close the firefox or the "localhost:631" tab) and restart your computer; so the firefox tries to open "localhost:631" upon log-in. The "cupsd" closes after firefox opens the "localhost:631" I can reproduce it on two different computers running amd64 It only happens in xfce4, it doesn't effect KDE Here is a link to the forum where I posted this information.
I've tried to update the subject line to reflect your latest information on how to reproduce the problem. Also, here's the forum topic that you were intending to post, though it looks like you have included the relevant info in this bug already (which is good): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-811389-highlight-cups+xfce4.html
Well, Xfce doesn't do anything printing related since 4.8.x, even xfprint was removed in favour of GTK+ native printing dialogs. Removing Xfce from summary.
No mozilla issue here, this is strickly cups.
Do you still have this problem with current cups?
