I had to create the /var/spool/output/lpd directory as it didn't exist.
I then had to chmod it to 777 as AbiWord complained about permissions.
I have one printer on my home network.  It is called 'HPLJ018'.
I tried lpr -PHPLJ1018 but I got the messages:

lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

I'm clueless as to what this means.
I also tried lpt -Psocket://192.168.1.1:9100/printers/HPLJ1018 but that gave
me the error message

lpr: socket://192.168.1.1:9100/printers/HPLJ1018: unknown printer

I really appreciate you guys helping me out.  Could you please tell me what
I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards
