Hello, I got a printing problem about the lpd, I just cannot start the lpd with the following lines in the printcap file. lp|local line printer:\ :sh:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:mx#0:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: ef404 | HP LJ:\ :sh:\ :lp=:rm=158.132.148.254:sd=/var/spool/output/ef404:mx#0:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: when I start lpd, I got the following error message. chkprintcap: ef404 and lp share the same spool, /var/spool/output/lpd lpd: 1 errors in printcap file, exiting However when I comment out one of them say the "lp| local line printer " part. I start lpd, no error message this time. But when I use lpq -q to check the printing status, if says, ef404: warning: no daemon present. However, I have check the directory /var/spool/output/ef404 do exist. Actucally, I tried to use different spool directory before, say, I create a directory /var/spool/ef404 and set sd=/var/spool/ef404: and change the owner of the directory to daemon.daemon and 770(chmod). and test it. But still cannot fix it! Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks a lot! Regards, Kevin _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
