I'm running DU3.2C on an Alpha1000. I am trying to send to remote
printers defined in the printcap file. Because I could not reach one
of the printers I followed the instructions in the DEC/OSF Sys Admin
manual to kill and restart the printer:
rm -f /dev/printer /var/spool/lpd.lock
/usr/lbin/lpd -l
Now, I can't print to any of the remote printers. lpr results in
# lpr -Pev9 /tmp/ptest
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
lpc results in
lpc> status ev9
ev9:
printer is on remote host garnet with name Evans9
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
lpc> start ev9
ev9:
printing enabled
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
couldn't start daemon
/usr/sbin/lpd is not running; /usr/lbin/lpd is.
I don't know what might be missing. I would appreciate any
suggestions. Will summarize. Thanks.
