Thanks for the reply.
Reading the following leads me to believe avahi-daemon needs to be
running for cups to work:
...didn't realize that I had to start dbus and avahi-daemon manually.
I added both to my /etc/rc.d and ran them manually with:
rc.d start dbus
rc.d start avahi-daemon
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137236
When booting up I see this message:
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon failed!
and when I try to start avahi manually as root:
# avahi-daemon
Found user 'avahi' (UID 108) and group 'avahi' (GID 110).
Successfully dropped root privileges.
avahi-daemon 0.6.31 starting up.
dbus_bus_get_private(): Failed to connect to socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
WARNING: Failed to contact D-Bus daemon.
avahi-daemon 0.6.31 exiting.
I have tried several PPD files including the one from Brother. Haven't
tried the Gutenprint driver, may try that next. But I'm thinking
getting the avahi-daemon running may be the issue. Perhaps I need to
get dbus running first? Any suggestions as to what I might need to
fix / configure?
