Re: Printer Trouble.
Hi,
Try checking the lpd deamon, you should have something like:
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50lpd.init
which is called by init program on runlevel 3.
also look for a line like this :
lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)
at your boot log, (obtained by typing: dmesg).
Or try to kill any pending jobs by lprm <jomnum> ..
Regards,
Yossi
