How should I configure the 2.2.10 kernel for plip printing? I get the following when I run lpc: LPC (nariana): status lp: queuing is enabled printing is enabled 2 entries in spool area no daemon present *************************** The "no daemon present" line seems to be the problem. When I ps jax | grep lpd I get: bash-2.03# ps jax | grep lpd 1 150 150 150 ? -1 S 0 0:00 lpd: accepting connections This is my dmesg dump: bash-2.03# dmesg Linux version 2.2.10 (root@nariana) (gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)) #12 Mon Dec 13 00:23:16 EST 1999 Detected 400912958 Hz processor.

I have spent far more time trying to figure out printing under linux than I have printing under Linux. I really wish the printer section of the SuSE book were more comprehensive.
