Have you done the

"Init scripts

Symlink from /etc/init.d to /opt/doc/cups/Sxxxxxx scripts and fix the path /opt/sbin/cupsd to /usr/sbin/cupsd in the scripts. " ?

The "Sxxxxxx" shall be replaced by a number, the number must not be user before in the /etc/init.d folder.

Example:

ln -s /etc/init.d /opt/doc/cups/S79

This is just an example, Im not sure the direction of the target/symlink is right.

The following command worked for me:

ln -s /opt/doc/cups/S88cups /etc/init.d/S88cups

This was for cups-1.3.11, which is the latest in the 1.3 branch. I was unsuccessful in compiling the latest cups-1.4.5, so I tried compiling the latest in the 1.3 branch, since 1.3.7 was what was used in this WikiDot tutorial.

Of course, don't forget to edit /opt/doc/cups/S88cups to replace /opt/sbin/cupsd with /usr/sbin/cupsd .

Also, I wanted to mention that although https://nasIP:631/printers/printername worked when setting up the printer driver for a Windows XP client, I had to use http instead of https during the driver setup for Windows 7 client in order to make it work. In other words, http://nasIP:631/printers/printername . I don't know why, but Windows 7's printer setup could not connect to the printer when using https.

(Replace nasIP with the IP address of your MyBookWorld, and replace printername with the name of your printer as displayed in the cups web admin pages).
