lpr [Q]

[Craig Oda <craig@example.com>]

Hi,
sorry to keep bothering everyone with this lpr question.

Well, I've recompiled the kernel to 2.0.27 and have checked to
make sure that the printer module is being loaded.

[root@example.com tmp]# cat /proc/modules
lp                 2            0 (autoclean)
nfs               12            5 (autoclean)


I've deleted the entire lpr suite and recompiled and installed
the suite from source (lpr version 5.9).

I can start everything:

[root@example.com /root]# lpc start all
myprinter:
        printing enabled
        daemon started

However, when I do a status, there is no daemon:

[root@example.com /root]# lpc status myprinter
myprinter:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present

It seems to have vaporized:

[root@example.com /root]# lpq -Pmyprinter
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    root       7    (standard input)                      299 bytes
2nd    root       8    (standard input)                      114 bytes


I even start it manually with 

 /usr/sbin/lpd -l

it shows up in a 

  ps -aux |grep lpd

However, the -l flag doesn't give me any errs.

Any ideas?????????????


ahhhhggghhh......    I want to print...

Regards,
Craig
