Problem:  lpq on printer reports "Warning: no daemon present"
Have set up printer in printcap file as follows:
axis|Axis print server
        :lp=:\
        :rm=GP30:\
        :rp=pr1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/gp30:

I have tried pr1 and PR1 as queues on remote printer.  I know this queue
exists (can address it using LPR from Win NT)

I have chown'd the spool directory to daemon.  Lpc reports the daemon is
running for this printer (printing enabled, daemon started.)

This is the output from lpq:

lp_serv1:/var/spool # lpq -Paxis
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size
1st    root       11   /etc/printcap                         3287 bytes
2nd    root       12   /etc/printcap                         3287 bytes
3rd    root       13   /etc/printcap                         3287 bytes

printer GP30 is in the /etc/hosts file as follows:

192.168.0.202   GP30                    AXIS_GP30

I can ping "GP30" OK.

Ls -l of /var/spool is as follows:

drwx------   2 at       at           1024 Jan 19 16:43 atjobs
drwx------   2 at       at           1024 Jan 19 16:43 atspool
drwxr-xr-x   2 fax      uucp         1024 Jan 19 16:43 fax
drwxr-xr-x   2 daemon   root         1024 Jan 25 09:48 fiery
drwxr-xr-x   2 daemon   root         1024 Jan 25 09:57 gp30

So owner is daemon, group is root.  This works for another remote printer,
"fiery".

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mick
