What are you seeing in the CUPS log file in /var/svc/log? Any error
messages there?

If I am interpreting this correctly, then CUPS started successfully at
15:47. At 17:26 SMF noticed that it wasn't working anymore and called
the 'stop' method.

This leads me to the question: Does CUPS initially work when started by
svcadm and stop working later on or does it not come up in the first
place?


>And it i start manually the method:

>cups: scheduler is not running.
>caiman-root% /opt/csw/lib/svc/method/svc-cups start
>cups: started scheduler.
>caiman-root% /opt/csw/lib/svc/method/svc-cups status
>cups: scheduler is running.

May I ask if CUPS is working after you start it manually? Does it keep
running or does it go away after a while?

Thanks,
