(lpr or lprng) -- I suggest lprng To check this: dpkg -i | grep lpr Does it is running? To check this: ps ax | more You should see a process like "lpd" or "LPD" Does it is run at startup? To check this: ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*lp* Check /var/log/ and /var/spool/lpd files for error message diagnostics Show us all this and the output of the "lpc status" command regards, Ulisses - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Computers are useless.
