I need to have CUPS run at boot, but I can't even find it. I did try going to slackware.com and getting the cups package and then installing it, but it didn't work. Help?
Try # locate -u && locate cups
It's all in /opt/kde. Does that affect how it can be used?
[hrm]
I ran #/opt/kde/bin/cupsdconf and an error box came up that says:
"Unable to retrieve configuration file from the CUPS server. You probably don't have access permissions to perform this operation".
Eh?
You installed the package when you set up slackware, right?
The package may not be installed by default. If it is, it'll be in /usr/sbin/cupsd.
Once CUPS is installed, enable its startup file:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cupsd
I know it's one of the options you can enable when Slackware lists a bunch of different servres you can install.
I did the install, but still no startup module? Hrm.

I don't think you initially installed the package. :P
Anyway, find where it installed the binaries and add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to execute it.

The file is /etc/rc.d/rc.local
And the path should be /usr/sbin/cupsd
So "echo '/usr/sbin/cupsd' >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local'" should fix everything, But that shouldn't be necessary.
Do a "tar -tvvzf" on the package. See if it has a /etc file. It should...

Sorry, I read it fast and saw "find the ... rc.local" :P
CUPS loads! Yay!
Okay, not I aparently need cupsomatic, but I can't find it.
I'm given http://www.linuxprinting.org/cupsomatic, but it's 404.
