Thanks for staying in on this one.
The results are:
lpc> enable lp
lp:
queuing enabled
lpc> restart lp
lp:
no daemon to abort
lp:
lpc: connect: Connection refused
couldn't start daemon
lpc>
Unfortunately all that gets enabled is queing again.?
So could that mean a weird permission problem?
I am terrible at permissions and could I have done a 'chmod' command to
give read write access /dev on my home machine but somehow negated
executables?
By doing so could I have disabled printing from the spool?
From Printtool it does print directly to port.? However it only prints
once then dies with the error:
"Error printing test page to quue lp
Error Reason:lpr:connect:
Connection refused.jobs quued but cannot start daemon."
Yes I am running Printtool as root
I am afraid if I had this much trouble getting a working printer when I
first started using Linux I would have still been in "The Dark$ide"
Thanks and I hope you all don't give up on me yet:-)
