There are several ways to do this.  You could

1) Kill the lpd that is running and start a new one.  Try something
   similar to:

# killall lpd
# lpd

2) Same as above, except use "lpc" to do it for you:

# lpc restart all

3) Use the nice Debian startup script:

# /etc/init.d/lpd restart

4) (I'm not sure if this applies to lpd, but it's handy for a lot of
   other deamons) Send the deamon the HUP (Hangup) signal.

# killall -HUP lpd

use the startup files in /etc/init.d.
   cd /etc/init.d
   ./lprng restart
or
   ./lprng stop
   ./lprng start

There will be one of these for lpr if you have that instead
of lprng...

Reinitializing LPD

[A. Scott White]

I have been rebooting every time I edit /etc/printcap. I know there is a
better way to reinitialize the LPD system. Can someone tell me what it is?

Thanks.
