How to start CUPS at bootup

[antara scales]

Thanks Matt, but----
I had already reset several times in addition to Repairing Permissions. this never helped. Couldn't used Printer Setup Repair, because it was disables when I put in a bad serial #.
I did install the combo update, as you suggested, but that doesn't do it either.
Still can't ad printer unless I do this in terminal

"Open a Terminal , located at Applications->Utilities>Terminal
# = root access, this is to signify a command at root level, when you see "#" do not type this, just whats after it
At terminal type:
su
enter password
#cd /etc/cups

There are a few files that can cause this error, frist is the cupsd.conf file, try this command next
#cp cupsd.conf.default cupd.conf

then type
#cupsd

The first will copy all default settings to the cupsd file, sometimes this will resolve the problem. Then cupsd will start the cupsd service in the background"

Now I need the command to launch at startup.
????????????
