Hmmmnnn. Now I'm confused... According to my console login prompt, I'm
currently using 2.6.39-ARCH And after a recent pacman -Syu cups stopped
loading for me until I changed my Daemons line to say cups rather than cupsd.
There had, if I remember right, been a {is it 'rc.confpacnew' or
'rc.conf.pacnew'?} that didn't have cups listed in the daemons line.
Anyway I remember putting "cupsd" the new rc.conf first, and when that didn't
work I edited it to just say "cups". I didn't think much about it at the time.
All I cared was that my printer worked again.
But why would one Arch Linux installation need "cups" in the daemons line
while another needs "cupsd"???
