On a new F15 install replacing F14. The boot process pauses at "Start LSB: The cups scheduler" for 60 seconds before going on to the text log-in. I don't know what the cups scheduler is or what to do with it.
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Cups is the Common Unix Printing System, although they've dropped the acronym and just use the name here. I don't know why it's giving you trouble, but I'd start off by checking my printer if I were you.

I thought the same thing, figured the problem would go away after I set up the printers, but no, not even after system yum update, new kernel, etc. I have three network printers, all function from that computer. Google lists a number of complaints in other distro's for "Cups scheduler not starting."
I don't know how to troubleshoot that?

It might be trying to find out the hostname for each network interface. Do you have a network interface that does not have a corresponding hostname in DNS?

I'm not sure, does F15 require an entry in /etc/hosts for each printer? I don't usually deal with them using hostnames. The printer first "installed on the F15 system is connected via a D-Link device that simply converts USB to Ethernet, a printer server, and the problem was manifest with it. I treat it as 192.168.1.4 and simply set the rest of the printer set-up stuff to whatever satisfies the configuration script. I much preferred the old system where I entered data into the cups screen.
D-Link DP-301U shows: .
System Status Server Name : PS-4B9153 Model : DP-301U Hardware Version : A1 Firmware Version : 1.10 (2003-02-25) MAC Address : 00 0D 88 4B 91 53 IP Address : 192.168.1.4 (Manual) Up Time : 2 days, 13:43:42
Printer Status USB
Printer Name : PS-4B9153-U1
Printer Status : On line
I call the printer HL-5040 in the printer configuration screen.
I've just booted the F15 box and the Printing configuration screen shows six printers, duplicates of the first three and gives each a different name. I uncheck View, Discover Printers and it's reduced to those I have set up. Must I give them the names shown in the second set? I will do what ever corrects the problem but this is different than what I have had to do before.
Thanks for your interest.

Was hesitating to suggest you might have the same problem I did, as it looks to be stopping at a different point, but it's maybe worth checking you don't have lots of connections specified in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708207

No, it's not about individual printers but about network interfaces. CUPS needs to know all the hostnames by which the local machine can be referred to.
Take a look at what IP addresses your machine has using "ip addr". If there are any missing from /etc/hosts, try adding them to it and see if the problem goes away.

I configured /etc/hosts:
$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.9 box9 box9 192.168.1.48 box48 box48 192.168.1.52 cam2 cam2 192.168.1.51 cam1 cam1
I rebooted and it still stopped at Starting Cups Scheduler for one minute.
I also added box6 after the localhost line:
$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 box6 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.9 box9 box9 192.168.1.48 box48 box48 192.168.1.52 cam2 cam2 192.168.1.51 cam1 cam1
It still stopped for one minute.

I don't even show ifcfg-eth1 in:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
Only a line for 127.0.0.1 with a few items, looks normal.
So that may be what's causing problems. I will try creating it. The boot process also stops momentarily at NFS too, but that's perhaps a second or two so I thought that might be normal? The 60 seconds at cups scheduler got my attention.
I will let you know the result.

Ok, I created the script file referring to the one in the working F-14 box9. The symptoms are different but I may not have the script entries exactly right?
[bobg@box6 ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1 IPADDR=192.168.1.6 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BOORPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet NM_CONTROLLED=no USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=yes DNS2=208.67.220.220 DNS1=208.67.222.222 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
I'm not sure about the PREFIX item?
Now it pauses about 15 sec at Cups Scheduler and then stumbles over "sm-client" a bit longer.
I suspect this may be related to the problem, now to get this configuration file right. any suggestions appreciated.
Bob
Note: I've rsync'd the two thunderbird mails and am working from the F-15 computer now. Stuff seems to work fine, just the boot "problem," not a major thing, just annoying.

My particular problem was the system was attempting to connect to everything that had an ifcfg-X, and waited for that to finish. Sounds like yours isn't quite the same, but related to the particular network setup.
