    I've chroot a Debian system under the NAS, installed cups, but when I try start the service, the follow message is shown: "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsdFATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16-gazineu/modules.dep: No such file or directory
    FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16-gazineu/modules.dep: No such file or directory"

    Please, Could someone  help-me to resolve this issue?

    Thanks,
    Jefrey

    I think that message is harmless. The startup script is trying to load the parallel port module. Cups actually starts fine here. Try installing lynx and running "lynx localhost:631".

    One problem is that /dev/(u)random have the wrong permissions, which causes some of the configuration pages to crash. You would have to do "chmod 666 /dev/random /dev/urandom" to fix them up.

    I'm also not sure if printing actually works because my only printer is an old parallel port clunker.

    At least printing to a file via cups-pdf seems to work. I'd have to get an adapter or borrow a printer that was made this millenium to check if if works with a real one..

    Is there anything interesting on the error log? Maybe it's just a permission problem again.

    Oh and I had to do this to get remote administration to work properly: http://ariejan.net/2006/11/13/cups-426-upgrade-required/

    Ok, bought one of those adapters.

    Cups doesn't see the printer.. I'm not quite sure yet why. It's possible to forward the jobs to the printer systme in snake via the socket://localhost:9100 url though.

    If you want to print high res images you have to pretty patient. It took a few minutes to print a page sized image. Things like web sites are fast though.
