Earlier today, I could print. Then I did an apt-get upgrade in testing, and I couldn't. lpq showed my jobs queued and gave Warning: no daemon present.
When I did /etc/init.d/lpd start, out they came, and everything was fine. Because of the time, I suspect somehow the upgrade did it, but none of the packages look as if they should have had any effect. Here's the list of packages upgraded: checksecurity evms evms-cli evms-gui evms-ncurses findutils htdig htdig-doc java-common kernel-patch-evms lesstif-dev lesstif1 lesstif2 libcppopt-dev libcppopt0 libevms-2.0 libevms-dev libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libkpathsea3 lilo lilo-doc modutils net-tools netplan plan pump qt3-doc rep rep-doc rsh-client strace svgalibg1 tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-doc tetex-extra xcdroast zope-book The most suspicious are the gnome libraries (my initial print failure was from gnumeric, but I also got it using lpr) and net-tools, just because it has a network feel (it doesn't seem to have any postinst type scripts). I am posting this mostly to see if anyone else notices the problem. It's not well enough defined to file a bug. The good news is that it's easy to fix. I also see this in my system logs: Jul 31 16:36:59 wheat kernel: lp0 off-line Hmm.. this tends to get the upgrade off the hook, since it started after that. But I'm not sure what the connection is between that message and the daemon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
