I checked in /usr/bin, and the files in your script were in fact there. Likewise, the files in /usr/sbin were also present. I ran your script, and I got this error message: mv:cannot stat 'lpraccnt': No such file or dirctory. ln: '/usr/sbin/lpraccnt':File exists So I went into the /usr/sbin file and removed the /usr/sbin/lpraccnt link. (There was already a previous one called lpraccnt.org from the first few times I ran the script.) I ran your script again, and I got only the first error message, that the script couldn't find the lpraccnt. Then I ran /etc/init.d/lpd start This started successfully. Then I typed lpr /home/paul/tiger.ps And I got the same exact error message I have been getting. (The error messages in below in this email from my last posting.) If I type lpr -V, I see that I am using Patrick Powell's version of lpr. Doesn't this mean that the executables are in the right place? I also tried make install again, but I believe that this just puts the executables in the wrong places anyway. By the way, I am version 3.8.14 of LPRng.
