Bruce, thanks for your suggestion. I tried renaming the printers in the printcap to something different, creating their spool directories, restarting lpd, but the problem persists. ,---- | tea:/etc/init.d# lpc enable lpn | lpn: | queuing enabled | tea:/etc/init.d# lpc start lpn | lpn: | printing enabled | lpc: connect: Connection refused | couldn't start daemon `---- I have a feeling that the problem lies with some networking issue (since the *connection* is refused). Which is kinda weird, since these are all local printers. -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
