I have a problem.
The goal is to boot the computer and have the services I need for printing already running at boot and I just go to the printer selector and select my network printer.
I installed the latest kali-rolling version and have a HP printer I'm working with.
Once kali-rolling was installed I ran update in terminal.
After installation there is no printer programs or drivers installed.
I installed cups cups-client and foomatic.db.
when I boot kali I always have to run terminal /etc/init.d/cups start to get cups running.
After doing the above and after reading some posts on the problem I checked a few things in /etc/init.d folder and it appears the few scripts such as (cups samba smbd) I'll post the output of cups and samba at the very bottom of this post.
moving on..
When I do the following which is an excerpt from someone elses post:
4. Open terminal and type:
/etc/init.d/cups start
you got this:
[ ok ] Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd.
5. In terminal type:
netstat -ant | grep 631
you got this:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:39723 ::1:631 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:39722 ::1:631 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:39723 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:39721 ::1:631 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:39721 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:39720 ::1:631 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:39724 ::1:631 TIME_WAIT
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:39722 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:39720 ESTABLISHED
Continuing I don't get the above but I get this output instead:
/etc/cups/cups start
starting cups (via systemctl): cups.service.
netstat -ant | grep 631
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:47612 ESTABLISHED
tcp6 0 0 ::1:631 ::1:631 ESTABLISHED
and when I type lsusb
I don't see my printer but I see other drivers
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
however after manualy starting cups I can print and in cups the printer connection is socket.
I also cannot find any kind of printer in system or administration.
only on the cups page 127.0.0.1:631
It would be nice to be able to go to system and configure a printer through gnome but there is no option.
Do you see any suspects I can check to try and get things straightened out?
I've hammered at this for days
