OK, several things to check: # Make sure there's space on /var (or / if you don't have a # separate /var.) df # Files should all be mode 644, owned by rpm.rpm ls -l /var/lib/rpm # Make sure no programs have the files open already fuser -v /var/lib/rpm/* > 3) Recently when I try to print (RH 7.2, i686, HPD722C) I get the error > message: "cannot open connection to localhost - Connection refused.

The failure means that lpd was not running, so it can't be shut down. It won't start if NETWORKING=no in /etc/sysconfig/network or if /usr/sbin/lpd is not executable. See if lpd is running for sure using 'ps ax | grep lpd' If it's not running, run /usr/sbin/lpd from the command line to start it. You may see error messages masked by the init scripts. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
