Dear M. Question: 
   Running versions 3.4 & 4.2, when a printer gets out of sync 
with the daemon, it is nearly impossible to get the daemon 
to restart with files in place in the (dedicated) spooling 
directory. 
with lpr, I get: 

lpr -Plzrhp5 dfA000RO-LT-FBsd00.UCSFMedicalCenter.Org
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

with lpc: 

lpc> start lzrhp5
lzrhp5:
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
        couldn't start daemon

but neither one will tell me what file or directory is missing! 

printcap entry: 

#
lzrhp5|RO-LB-VPrt00|ro-lb-vprt00|CL2300 LaserJet 4M+ Printer:\
        :sh:\

  This spooler has been working beautifully for six months or so, 
but a power interruption or something fouled this up and I am 
tearing my hair out!  Any other information or experiments I can 
try, just let me know! 
   TIA!
    \DaveW
