Jul 02 14:57:06 ChillisLinux systemd[1]: Listening on CUPS Scheduler.

It seems to work for 2 seconds and then it comes up with the same as sent on the screenshot.

Can you advise on how I can make this permanent please.

Let us replace the socket with the service:

sudo systemctl disable cups.socket

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service

sudo systemctl status cups.service

This is what I got…

[chilli@ChillisLinux ~]$ sudo systemctl disable cups.socket
[sudo] password for chilli:
Removed “/etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket”.
[chilli@ChillisLinux ~]$ sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket.
Job for cups.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration.
See “systemctl status cups.service” and “journalctl -xeu cups.service” for details.
