After installing a Canon printer in Quantal, in order to print I have to start ccpd at each restart with the command

sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start

This should be automated, says the driver manual. But before doing that, I believe that a script for that command must be created. Or is there a way to make the command run at startup without creating a script first? Whether a script must created or not, I guess a different command should be used, one that doesn't open the terminal and doesn't ask for the password each time.

I guess the answer might be like here, editing /etc/rc.local. That file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -e

#

# rc.local

#

# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.

# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other

# value on error.

#

# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution

# bits.

#

# By default this script does nothing.



exit 0

But what should I do: just paste the command in the line 13 before exit 0? And what the command should be exactly?

(A supplementary question that I should ask is maybe this: should that command be put to start with the computer or only at login, or is that unimportant?)

Considering similar questions on Askubuntu, beside the fact that I am not sure what the command is:

• this looks promising, but the answer was not set as definitive, and I need more advice. Also, I am in Lubuntu and do not have the Ubuntu GUI that adds stuff at startup. The same for this.




• also this: but its answer only concerns where to put the script not how to create it, and I guess the comment there drastically amends the answer ("~/.profile (which also calls ~/.bashrc) is only executed when logging into a shell (through Terminal or SSH for example). Not when logging into the GUI")
