password is needed (AuthType None). To allow access to the administration tool, CUPS must be
configured to prompt for a password (AuthType Basic).
Starting the CUPS Server
For Linux systems that use SystemV-style startup scripts (such as Fedora, RHEL, and SUSE), starting
and shutting down the CUPS print service is pretty easy. Use the chkconfig command to
turn on CUPS so it starts at each reboot. Run the cups startup script to have the CUPS service
start immediately. Type the following as root user:
# chkconfig cupsd on
# /etc/init.d/cups start
If the CUPS service was already running, you should use restart instead of start. Using the
restart option is also a good way to reread any configuration options you may have changed in
the cupsd.conf file.
Other Linux systems vary in how they start up the CUPS service. For example, in Slackware, you
can turn on CUPS printing permanently by simply making the rc.cups script executable and
then turn it on immediately by executing it (typing the following as root user):
# chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start

Running a Print Server 26
In Gentoo Linux, you use the add option of the rc-update command to have the CUPS service
start at each reboot and run the cupsd runlevel script to start it immediately.
