Package: cups-daemon
Version: 1.7.5-11+deb8u1
Hello,
I have found that CUPS will not start at boot if the /var/spool/cups
directory contains no d* files (job files).
This is the case for a brand new CUPS installation or if
"PreserveJobFiles" is set to "No" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (eg. for large
campus print servers, where keeping job files would require a lot of
storage and may be the source of privacy issues).
The culprit appears to be /lib/systemd/system/cups.path.
If one changes:
PathExistsGlob=/var/spool/cups/d*
To:
PathExists=/var/spool/cups
(possible workaround/hack: touch /var/sppol/cups/d)
CUPS starts at boot as expected.
Thank you for considering this report.
Best regards,
Cédric
