Printing go bye-bye

[Kyle Girard]

Somewhere in between now and about hmm a month ago my ability to print has ceased.

Here's some background info:

Distribution: sid (current as of this morning)
kernel 2.4.9
Printer:  hp720c

I am using magicfilter with pnm2ppa

my printcap hasn't changed in a long time..

# This file was generated by /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig.
#
lp|hp720c|hp:\
	:lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp720c:\
	:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
	:if=/etc/magicfilter/pnm2ppa-720-bw-eco-filter:\
	:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:


Stopping printer spooler: lpd not running.

even though

ps ax | grep lpd
741 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
782 pts/0    S      0:00 grep lpd

I seem to be having some issues with lpd.  I run /etc/init.d/lpd stop and it spitsI also cannot clear the queue .... I have three things in there and they will not leave!  Any help would be appreciated.
