CUPS not starting after RHEL reboots
Issue
-
CUPS will not start automatically after RHEL reboots, even though it is enabled:
# systemctl enable cups # systemctl start cups # systemctl status cups cups.service - CUPS Printing Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2015-06-25 07:34:03 PDT; 1s ago Main PID: 1095 (cupsd) CGroup: /system.slice/cups.service └─1095 /usr/sbin/cupsd -f # rebootWait for system to reboot.
#systemctl status cups cups.service - CUPS Printing Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) -
Running "
systemctl enable cups" doesn't make cups start on boot. Running "systemctl start cups" works as expected.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.6.3
