Obviously, you did not have tried to simply start 'lpd'. I'm using now
Debian (previously SuSE) on my production server and I received the same
message day by day; until I get in count that the self lpd server was not
started (then the error message).
Simply try it.
And, BTW, lpd in inetd is not recommended (security reasons), even if you
are using xinetd (more secure).

YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST
The address you post from MUST be your subscription address
If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
