Hey folks- I'm playing around with vmware workstation, and having a printing problem. I've loaded Windows XP Pro into the virtual machine, and used the LPR Port setup to print to my home network's print server (a debian box) using LPR. This same setup works fine from a real XP box on the network. But it doesn't work for me now - the windows queue keeps showing the document "printing", and the lp host shows:
nujoma:/var/log# lpq Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st Andrew Perrin 1 Test Page 0 bytes printing from XP's command line using the lpr command also works fine. It seems like something is causing lpd to die when the print command comes through - any ideas what it might be?
