So next question is How can I check if cups is running and if not
how
get it running ?
As well as the other suggestions, if you have a browser running, you
can see what you find at
http://localhost:631/ (that's the CUPS web
interface). If CUPS is running, it'll respond.
Also, within the web interface, you can see if particular printers are
there and running. A printer can be stopped, such as after running out
of supplies, or manually, while CUPS carries on running.
