I am unable to print on a new installation of Natty.
The print configuration utility reports that no printing service is available.
I have comfirmed that cups is installed and get a positive response to "whereis cupsd"
When I attempt to start cups from the cl (service cups start) I receive the following response:
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.63" (uid=1000 pid=5577 comm="start cups ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
There are no errors produced in the logs - either cups or syslog and if I turn apparmour to complain mode nothing improves:
sudo aa-complain cupsd
I am aware of this post:
http://islandlinux.org/es/howto/upgrading-ubuntu-breaks-printer-cupsys
but since the workaround has no effect and in the absence of error messages I am not sure that it applies and cannot implement -
and note that no print drivers are in play since I can't get cups to start...
Can anyone give me any pointers please?
What should I try next?
