When I try to run 'lpc restart all',
it shows lp:
  cannot open lock file
lp:
lpc: unable to connect to /var/run/printer: no such
file or directory
lpc: check to see if the master 'lpd' process is
running.
    couldn't start daemon


However, ps aux shows that lpd is running
daemon 138 lpd: lpd waiting(lpd)

ls -l /var/run shows
lpd.515 and lprng but no /var/run/printer

I read that /var/run/printer should be created by lpd
but it is not. Why?

Please help. thanks.
