OK! Here is an update on my system with regards to my printing problem:
bash-2.01$ dpkg --list | grep lprng
ii lprng 3.4.2-5 lpr/lpd printer spooling system
ii lprng-doc 3.4.1-3 lpr/lpd printer spooli
bash-2.01$ ps ax | grep LPD
419 p1 S 0:00 grep LPD
bash-2.01$ ps ax | grep lpd
421 p1 S 0:00 grep lpd
*** Oops, how come no lpd is running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bash-2.01$ find /etc/rc2.d -name *lp*
/etc/rc2.d/S20lprng
bash-2.01$ lpc status
cannot open connection to [EMAIL PROTECTED]' - Connection refused
In the file /var/spool/lpd/lp/status.lp, it contains:
opening '/dev/lp1' at 00:32:52, attempt 1, timeout 10, grace 0 at 00:32:52
cannot open '/dev/lp1' - 'Device not configured', attempt 1, sleeping 10
at 00:32:53
But I am sure that Parallel support is compiled in my kernel!!!
But i also have the feeling that it has something to do with the
kernel,
because I have compiled it for many times....
