Hello ,
I have similar problems with a new RH 6.1 install.
Here with :
printtool-3.41-2
lpr-0.43-2
I can only start the printing via the "control-panel"
select the printer icon - select a printer & restart lpd.
But when I reboot the machine - same problem again.
Never had such problems with RH 5.2 (printing on a local printer
and a network printer always worked OK>)
