I was hoping someone else could help you with this, as I do not have much experience with lpr-implementations on windows. But I did not see anyone else reply to you, so I'll give it a shot... >I've stopped and restarted the lpd daemon. >What am I missing? Try starting lpd with the '-W' option. You might need that. Also try starting lpd with the '-c' option. This will cause connection-time errors to be written to syslog (and thus to /var/log/lpd-errs or /var/log/messages). Usually lpd will only print such error messages back to the connecting host, but windows tends to hide those error messages from the user. Note that both of these options are fairly new. Check 'man lpd' to see if the lpd on your system knows about them. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
