I have had odd problems like this in the past. Usually it comes right using lpc to 
restart the process or up to tell the linux box the printer is available.

I am trying to print directly to a HP Laserjet 2100N using lpr/lpd but it is
not working. The frustrating thing is that it works fine from a Win2K box
using lpr. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This is my /etc/printcap

lp|HPLJ2100:\
:rm=192.168.69.39:\
:rp=raw:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:

and when I try to print I get this:

# lpr -Plp bla.txt
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

# lpq
waiting for lp to become ready (offline ?)
