I have had printing going for sometime, but for some reason at some
unknown time it has stopped working, though it appears on one hand to be
working:
[root@localhost /new_soft]# grep lpd /var/log/messages*
/var/log/messages:Feb 10 23:29:06 localhost lpd: lpd shutdown succeeded
/var/log/messages:Feb 10 23:29:07 localhost lpd: lpd startup succeeded
/var/log/messages:Feb 10 23:44:24 localhost lpd: lpd shutdown succeeded
/var/log/messages:Feb 10 23:44:24 localhost lpd: lpd startup succeeded
Under printtool, all parameters remain the same, and testing resulted in:
Error printing test page to queue lp.
Error reason: lpr: connect: connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon
One error message I got, from where I don't remember was something on the
order of:
device '/dev/lp0' does not exist
but it most certainly does:
[root@localhost /new_soft]# ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root daemon 6, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/lp0
Failures occur under 'root' as well as other users, and also, fails under
console as well as Gnome.
The printer, HP LaserJet 4L, works and does self printing of its test
page, and is connected directly to this machine.
I did do some 'priority updating', from RH last night, with
auto-installing turned on. The only thing I see that 'might' possibly
have had something to do with print services was a 'groff' package.
I've checked online docs, and the RH support database.
Any ideas on this problem would be appreciated.
Thanx
