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 ???

Please respond
to Linux on 390
Port
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.
