There's a way to do this in lucid without modifying samba at all. # cups-sysv
start on starting smbd stop on stopped smbd pre-start script invoke-rc.d cups start || : end script post-stop script invoke-rc.d cups stop || : end script #EOF This will ensure that cups is started before smbd. It will also introduce an error when we try to start/stop it again during rc2.d .. but that shouldn't be more than a nuisance (and we could always remove it from rc2.d in this pre-start) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/494141 Title: CUPS starts after SAMBA; printers are not available (convert cups to upstart) -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
