** Description changed: I have three Computer with ubuntu installed, an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ desktop, an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ and a laptop with a Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M 2GHz. On amd64 there are no problems in restarting cupsys or starting and stopping it, on the i386 systems, when I try to restart cupsys with sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart it hangs, and I have to give a Ctrl-C to terminate. After the termination cups works fine. The only way to restart cleanly is to switch to single user mode and give the /etc/init.d/cupsys restart command. I have noticed that on the amd64 (the PC with working cupsys restart) a pgrep cuspd returns 2 PID and that /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid reports the highest, e.g. # pgrep cuspd 4029 8366 # cat /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid 8366 on the other two systems there is only one cupsd instance running whose PID is correctly reported in /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid . The main difference between the working system and the non working ones is that I have installed cups-pdf on the latters. But uninstalling it doesn't solve the problem. + EDIT: I installed cups-pdf on the amd64 and cupsys continues to work fine, i.e. restarts without problems.
