you can restart lprng by running /etc/init.d/lprng restart, rebooting would reload it if you see it load, make sure the spool directories etc exist. since your runing slink as am i with a virtually identical configuration the printcap should be fine. you may want to check permissions on the spool directories as well just to test you could just do chmod -R 777 /var/spool/printerdirectory/* it is a security risk but your system probably is not in much risk. been so long since i set printing up i dont remember what all else to suggest. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 1:45pm up 187 days, 2:05, 1 user, load average: 1.10, 1.07, 1.01
