So you see the lpd daemon when you issue:    ps -ax | grep lpd
???

Did you issue these commands:

lpc enable lp
lpc start lp

Do you have an /etc/printcap and does it have an entry for "lp"


These are just notes I found in my Samba cheat sheet....don't know if you
need to
issue them since you've got lpd listening via INETD ???

I have documented the steps below, but will someone please help me
understand why I can't start the print daemon.  I will be
happy to provide more information as needed.
