Into The second Week Now!
Latest is if I delete all references to lp, lp0 etc in /var/spool/lpd
Delete printers in 'printtool'
Reboot
Bring up printtool
'Add Printer'
It locks up printtool
Exit printtool
start printtool
'add printer' IT WORKS, detects the printer and everything is a "go"
from there
A few hours later when trying to print
files quue up
multiple lpd 'pids' start showing up
'lpc start lp' shows "printing enabled"
lpc: connect:"Connections refused couldn't start daemon"
This has happened exactly the same three days running now.
1) Printer is configured and running
2)Machine is left on 24/7
3) From pm to am or after several hours the print session spools but
doesn't print. the /dev/lp0, /dev/lpx etc. ARE NOT DETECTED by anyone
anywhere.
4)lpd is still active by now with multiple pids
And so it goes
Guess its back to L-M 6.0 soon if this doesnt straighten out
I am getting very far behind with my Real Work on this machine.
May the Forces of Understanding the LPR GODS in L-M 6.1 be with us!
