I installed deb 3.1 sarge and it is working fine but can't
print a test page.
On my libanet 2.8.1, a debian distro, when it boots up
"cupsys starting" is shown.
On sarge, the "cupsys starting" is not shown.
How do I start cupsys in sarge?

TIA

You can start it by doing:

% sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start

And look into rcconf and update-rc.d to create the symlinks needed to
start it at boot, unless you are able to create them yourself.

I tried "# /etc/init.d/cupsys start" and I get the message " cupsys
started" but still can't print a test page.
/etc/rc5.d lists "S20cupsys"
/etc/init.d/cupsys

Can someone please let me know where I can put "cupsys" so it starts
cups at boot?

Sure you got the right dir there, partner? What does the command
"runlevel" say?

Should see this after a boot if you have the symlinks in the same dir
as the runlevel:

nitro:/etc/rc2.d# ps -ef|grep cup
root 20918 1 0 06:30 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -F
root 21377 21365 0 21:46 pts/4 00:00:00 grep cup
