Title:
lpstat should return failure when cupsd is not running
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
We find ourselves needing to programmatically check whether cupsd is running
(so that we can use lpadmin to add our site's printers for our users, but there
are many other possible reasons one might want to do this). 'lpstat -r' seems
the obvious way to do so, but the command always returns zero (success).
Thus, we are forced to parse the text output of 'lpstat -r', which is quite
fragile to that text changing in a future release. 'lpstat -r' should return
nonzero when cupsd is not running, allowing for a robust determination of
whether cupsd is running (and thus other commands will fail).
This bug was observed in natty, with cups 1.4.6-5ubuntu1.3
