Okay, I need a hint! I ahve RH 6.0 installed and it has been stable for about a year. Currently up for 59 days. Remote print queue setup on an HP LaserJet4M Plus has been working okay until recently. Tonight not a print. ps ax | grep lpd reports a lpd daemon present >lpc status reports that no lpd daemon is present I cleaned out man spooled files with lprm -Plj4mplus - [run as root from command line] and restarted the lpd. Now I have lpd present yet lpc status reports that is NOT the case. All this without any changes to the system. Does anyone have any ideas of where to go next. I can print necessary items from Win95 and can ping the printer from the RH box. I am more interested in understanding this that a quick fix so don't recommend a reboot. Linux can do better than that, I just don't know how. All help appreciated Bob Hartung -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
