Check your print queue using: lpq then remove the jobs from it using lprm job number Pete.

Karl M. Hegbloom wrote: Hi Karl, Thanks for your reply, Is the 'lpd' running? Maybe you need to 'rm' the S symlink to the 'lpd' startup script in '/etc/rcX.d' for the runlevel you are in, so that the line printer daemon never gets fired off? -- Many solutions were suggested, and as it turns out all of them where correct... Yes, I had old print jobs waiting in the queue; yes I had a symlink in /etc/rc2.d to the lpd script, and yes, /etc/modules was loading the lp module for some reason... All is now as it should be! Many thanks to all. By the way, the athmosphere on this list is truly a breath of fresh air. Very little noise, and lots of extremely useful feedback. I have moved from Redhat (a fine product, to be sure, but the list is Babel with a vengeance) in December, and in the last few weeks have been an interested reader of the exchanges here. Always extremely relaxed and positive. Most enjoyable! Alain.

lp1 out of paper
I know my printer is out of paper. Its also out of electricity, being that it's in a cupboard in the basement. Still, the above message is sent to /var/log/messages every 10 seconds, day in day out. I've recompiled my kernel (2.0.27) specifically disabling printer support, but that message is still spewed out every ten seconds. I cannot for the life of me find where that call is made. Could a kind soul tell me how to disable printer support for good (I do my printout stuff on the nice Laserjet at the office...). Thanks in advance, Alain.

Two thoroughly unknown print jobs were indeed lurking in my /var/spool/lpd/lp directory. I have no idea where they came from! They have been happily lprm'ed, and the pesky message is gone... Thanks a lot for the great tip: that is one I won't forget! Alain. --- Alain Nadeau [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
