Does anyone know what the brackets mean??

$ echo /etc/hosts | lpr -P laser; /usr/sbin/lpc status
laser:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        1 entry in spool area
        no daemon present              <-------- Problem??
$ /usr/sbin/lpc status
laser:
        queuing is enabled
        printing is enabled
        no entries
        no daemon present

half a second later I get the error message in my inbox.

I don't quite understand what this 'no daemon present' bit means, since

$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd status
lpd (pid 1113) is running...

would suggest to me that the daemon is there.
