Okay, now I see that cupsd and dbus processes are present, but not accepting connections. And further: # systemctl kill cups.service Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to authenticate in time. # systemctl Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to authenticate in time. I have setenforce 0, and the behaviour appears unchanged. rpm -V indicates no apparent problems with pam, systemd, cupd, or any of the dbus packages. Any suggestions most welcome.
