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....

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 Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- <www.linuxgazette.com> A Student at the "Southampton Institute", Southampton, Hants, ENGLAND

Furthermore, double check that "ldp" is actually running, by typing the following: ps aux | grep ldp HTH, Thomas Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- <www.linuxgazette.com> A Student at the "Southampton Institute", Southampton, Hants, ENGLAND

Hello, Which daemon is supposed to be running? i.e. are you using CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), lpd??? You should ensure that one of these is set to run in your default run-level (you can use yast for this, or edit the file /etc/rc.config manually).

> Hi. > > Is it possible to controle ports from dosemu ??. Yes, but you'd have to write a device-file to do it :-) And that means modifying the source code of freedos.

GPM is (Generic Portable Mouse) that allows you to use your mouse in the console mode. Since you haven't heard of it...don't worry. It was just that I *have* heard of gpm interefering with printing before. --Thomas Adam
