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!
