This will put you in single user mode and let you try to fix it. It sounds like there is something wrong with the cups install, so what you may want to do is use 'chkconfig' to turn cups off, see the manpage for chkconfig's syntax to do that. Don't stay in that mode and poke around, you can muck things up pretty easily, but reboot normally as soon as cups has been turned off. Once you've got a good boot, then you can play with cups from a xterm shell. > >--------------------------------- >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
