checkpc -f returns the same reply I received when I ran service lpd start (see below in the original message I sent on 6/12.
It appears there is no such file as filter. I ran, ls -la /var/spool/lpd/lp0 and the returned list was: . .. acct control.hp920 db.hp920 hp920 log status status.hp920 unspooler.hp920
Thanks to you and the others who are trying to help.

What the error message is saying is that the file:
/var/spool/lpd/lp0/filter
isn't being found or can't be accessed for some reason.
Is there such a file?
Have you run checkpc -f ?
Don't, as suggested by someone else, run any sort of printtool at this time.
