I have a number of machines running Fedora Core 4, kept up to date using Yum. All are running cups-1.1.23-15.1. Some are working fine, but others get the following error:
# service cups start
Starting cups: cupsd: Child exited with status 98!
[FAILED]
According to the web search I've done, people claim this is because cups is already running, but I don't think that's true. (1) it happens at boot time, and (2), I can shut cups down and get the same error:
# service cups stop
Stopping cups: [FAILED]
# ps -ef | grep cups

Oh, and just to confirm:
# uname -a
Linux salmon.wellesley.edu 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4smp #1 SMP Wed Sep 28 19:30:04 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.23-15.1
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
