Bug 731421

Looking at the policy for this:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default:
"If a service does not require configuration to be functional and is not network enabled, it may be enabled by default (but is not required to do so)."

It seems we can enable cups by default because the default configuration is not network enabled.

Enabling cups by default allows automatic configuration of connected USB printers to work again.

I'll enable all three units due to the current policy about that¹, although really cups.service only needs to be enabled for network-facing configurations.

"Since Fedora currently doesn't want any services to do on-demand loading, all socket activated services must autostart."

I'm sorry, but it's not installable:

(this seems to a general issue [for the moment], because a lot of other pkgs have the same problems if trying to update them!)

Tim, what about:
-Requires: %{name}-libs = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
+Requires: %{name}-libs%{?_isa} = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires

Good idea.

Issue still persists after updating to 
- cups-1.5.0-5.fc16.x86_64
- systemd-33-2.fc16.x86_64

Upgrading the package will not enable it (this is intentional).  Remove it and then reinstall it.

This has been a little bit difficult because of the current yum update problems. But by using yumdownloader and rpm I could re-install the cups packages. Now, cups is enabled.

Kind regards

Actually, it's not a big problem for me but it's not nice and might cause troubles to someone else...

There is a test update which is meant to fix it, mentioned in bug #748841.  Note that in order to test it you must update from a version of CUPS before the conversion to systemd.  To do that, uninstall cups, then install the F-15 cups package.  Finally, apply the test update.

(If you want to just "make it work" without providing test feedback for the update, 'systemctl enable cups.service'.)
