Following a recent (yesterday) upgrade to Redhat 6.1, I am having a few
minor problems. The most serious one has to do with printing.
When ever any user tries to print to any printer, the following
error message results ...
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
This is of course not true and a ps aux|grep lpd gives the following
root 436 0.0 0.0 1136 0 ? SW 14:20 0:00 [lpd]
root 535 0.0 0.5 1200 328 ? S 14:20 0:00 [lpd]
Now I have the vague memory that I had dealt with this before and that it
had something with file permissions but I have checked with the printing
HOWTO and everything corresponds to the permissions included there.
As of now they are ...
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root lp 15816 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/bin/lpq
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root lp 15608 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/bin/lpr
-r-sr-sr-x 1 root lp 16248 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/bin/lprm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3656 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/bin/lptest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2507 May 3 1999 /usr/bin/lpunlock
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root lp 24104 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/sbin/lpc
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 51228 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/sbin/lpd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5140 Oct 23 01:51 /usr/sbin/lpf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Nov 16 14:20 /var/spool/lpd/lpd.lock
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 1024 Nov 16 14:47 /var/spool/lpd/lp/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp 1024 Nov 16 11:57 /var/spool/lpd/lp0/
I do not have a problem with the ports as if I cat a file to the device
file (eg /dev/lp0) it prints no problem and also, any files sitting in
the queue will print when I restart the queue but new jobs just give the
above failure message.
My productivity would sure make a big jump ahead if someone out there
could tell me how to sort this out?
