Hello list, I am having some trouble with the lpd daemon. I am using lpd to print to several (3) HP Laserjet printers that are connected to our LAN with jetdirect cards. Everything seems to work find for a few days, but eventually the printers stop printing when jobs are sent to them. If I do a 'lpq -Pprinter' It will say "Warning: no daemon present". Then if I do a 'ps ax | grep lpd' I can see the lpd process running. If I kill lpd then restart it, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesnt't work, I have to kill lpd again, wait about 5 minutes, then start it and it usually comes back and starts printing what was sent to the queue. Most jobs are sent to the queue from WinNT machines and Samba. There are a few jobs sent to the queues from other linux machines but the bulk of the jobs are from WinNT workstations. Does anybody have an idea or two of what I can check? Thanks.
