lpd problem

Hello All,

I am using smbd and nmbd version 1.9.18p, and Linux
2.2.19 (LRP-LEAF Environment actually).

My problem is that I can't figure out why lpd won't
automatically start printing jobs sent to the spool
path.

Running "lpq" reports that the details of the job, but
there is a warning saying that "no daemon present".
Printing won't start unless I execute "lpd -l"
manually.

But the thing is, I call "lpd" as my linux box starts
up, and I can see that the daemon is running when I
execute "ps ax".

I don't understand why the "lpd" daemon cannot be seen

even if it is already running.

Any advice? File/s, config settings to check?

TIA, VIC

lpd problem

I have not seen this problem before and I don't know a thing about
LPR-LEAF. From your post I assume that the print job is transferred to
your server and is just sitting in your print queue.

Have you specified the type of printing system on the server in smb.conf?

What is the command in your smb.conf file for initiating printing?

lpd problem

I tried this but the problem remained.
Here's my smb.conf and printcap files.
I'm using a lowly 9-pin dot matrix printer.

smb.conf:

My printcap file is just a single line file.
