If you use the command line, you can play with chkconfig; and if you use the GUI, it's listed in the "services" Gnome configuration whatsit (I don't know what KDE offers, I don't have it installed). I stopped it on one of my PCs ages ago. I don't recall having any problems with that PC. I don't think it gets started by something else, such as starting CUPS starting it up as well. I don't have that PC running to look at what it's doing anymore. Judging by what I think it's supposed to do, I wouldn't run it on a server unless your server kept having printers changed on it. I might run it on remote terminals so that they can find the LAN printer all by themselves. I was pleasantly surprised to see a FC3 box do that: I installed FC3 onto a new box, never configured CUPs, was browsing a webpage, hit print without thinking I hadn't configured printers on this box, and this PC used my network printer (on another PC) all by itself. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
