[cups.general] CUPS slow to start

[Minatra, Pat H.]

We are on a Linux Red Hat OS running CUPS 1.1.22 and am unable to
upgrade to 1.2.2.

Item 1:
-------
Can anyone tell me as to why; when I am logged in as root and I run the
command '/etc/init.d/cups start' why it would take nearly 3 minutes to
start?  I am at a loss what to look for.  My FilterLimit in
/etc/cups.conf is set at 500 which is the only thing that rings a bell
when looking in the admin manual.  Am I hitting some hidden limiter
somewhere that is hard to find?

Item 2:
-------
This version of CUPS has run relatively well for us but we are
continually getting complaints from the user community that their jobs
are not printing; however, when I go to /var/spool/cups and look for the
output I find no output that parallels with their claim of printing so I
must presume from that there is not real print job.

Thank you for any information and have a GREAT day!
