Hi,
try this out, it should work. Become superuser and give the following
command:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300

actually 'ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300' should be replaced with whatever
entry it has got in /etc/printcap file.

For example, if the followinf entry is there in /etc/printcap,

ps|raw:\
:lp=:rm=100.0.0.10:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/spool/lp1/hpjlps:
:lf=/usr/spool/lp1/ps-log:

then issue 'mkdir /var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw'

Regards,

Senthil vel
