ok, have done this but now I appear to be getting a daemon error.
This is from messages:
Mar 16 14:50:11 LINUX1 lpd[119]: restarted
Mar 16 14:53:40 LINUX1 kernel: lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)
Mar 16 14:55:09 LINUX1 kernel: lp1 off-line
Mar 16 14:56:07 LINUX1 syslog: lp: /usr/spool/lp1/hpjlp: No such file or directory
Mar 16 14:56:15 LINUX1 syslog: lp: /usr/spool/lp1/hpjlp: No such file or directory
And I get this:
LINUX1:/home/mentor # lpq
Warning: no daemon present
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st mentor 7 test.txt 8 bytes
Now when I boot and shut down I see the statement "lpd starting" or "stopping".
So I'm not to sure what to think of the daemon.
Thank you for all your help.
George
