Not having luck with this. Getting command not found after typing in lpstat -a in debian chroot terminal.

Tried running /etc/init.d/cups start to no avail.

I then noticed cups was in /etc and not in init.d so I moved it into init.d and am getting a "cups is a directory" error, after putting in the script to start cups after restart.

Noob here. Followed all directions. Help please?
