Derek, the change in the -proposed package implements the workaround others are suggesting, though it does it in the package, rather than rc.local. If somebody is willing to try out the -proposed package, and let us know here, we can allow it into -updates so all users will get it. You don't need to be affected by the bug to try it out, just follow the test case on a clean lucid VM (you can just configure a printer that doesn't exist) -- 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
