Output shows that ldp is running.
Ok, try a simple test......
create a short file of text, save it, and then try the following:
cat ./name_of_file_with_text | lpr
See if that works,

Thomas & all,
I still get endless printed pages of odd character set output, so I abandoned printing again after trying this (IE, I turned
the printer off
again). However, there were no error messages reported when I piped the cat output to the printer. Somehow I have to clear the que first, but I can't seem to accomplish this.
Try sending a -HUP signal to the ldp daemon (as root): ps aux | grep ldp (you need the Process ID (PID) from this) and then use it in the following: kill -HUP PID you'll have to start the lpd after this.... Regards, --Thomas Adam

Output of ps aux | grep ldp is: root 1159 0.0 0.3 1228 412 ttyp1 S 11:36 0:00 grep ldp I tried kiling 1159, 1228, and 412, and output for each said: No such PID Lawrence Sayre --------------------------------------------- "Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!"

Correcting the above, the 1159 was 1189 (still no PID to kill with that number). Who know the file name and location for the 'lprold' (or something akin to this) BSD spooler. I looked in "Programs that don't need X" and could not find it. Lawrence Sayre --------------------------------------------- "Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!"
