I'm seeming to have a problem with my lpd dieing on me on my suse 7.2 box. seem to start when i tried to add an hp4plus to the machine. I have totally deleted my printcap file an started over to get printers setup. I'm using yast2 to setup the printers. I decided to setup the hp4plus printer 1st an it just does not print. i get this message: jobs queued, can not start daemon. Before I deleted an started over with the printers i had to go an kill -9 the lpd pids, there are 2 of them started each time. then when i type lpd an hit enter it would process all jobs in the queue except for the ones for the hp4plus. can anyone point me to the direction on where or what to look for to solve this problem. thanks. I think i might just give up on the hp4plus on this machine an find another way for that printer to work. just one person needs access to it, the payroll lady. jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com
