[PLUG] Cannot get to printer

[Don Buchholz]

Just in case systemd is wrong ...
1) ps ax | grep cup
2) grep -r cup /var/log 

I'm not familiar w/ Ubuntu/Debian, but the first command is simply looks for anything in the process table that matches 'cup'.  The second command does a recursive search for the pattern in your log files/folder.
