Sig-15 is sig-term, so that's a normal program termination. Did you configure cups? Unlike most services, there's really no sane way to have a valid initial configuration, given the vast number of printers out there, all with different drivers, so it has to be configured. My guess is that cupsd sees it has no valid printers setup, so lacking anything to do, it simply exits, thereby avoiding the unnecessary waste of resources sitting there doing nothing. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
