Does ps report an lpd process running? I've found that at times lpd quits "working", yet there is still a process present. '/etc/init.d/lpd stop' doesn't get rid of it, either, and '/etc/init.d/lpd start' is similarly useless. However, if I kill the process, '/etc/init.d/lpd start' does the trick. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
