DEClaser3500 printing problems

Could someone please help me with this?

I am not able to get "lpd" to send printjobs to my DEClaser3500.
The printer was working fine yesterday, but trying to stop a long
job I killed the "nic" process below and "lpd". I restarted these
processes, but any new printjob is queued but does not print.

The printer itself is fine as I can telnet to port 10001 on it and print

anything I type (or paste).

Thank You very much,

ard

This is the "nic" process that I killed, then restarted:

root 16067 0.0 0.0 1.59M 0K pts/32 IWN 13:49:26 \
0:00.03 /usr/nic/nic_print /dev/nic/DEClaser3500_01
prwe00.gcif.us-nj.citicorp.com 10001

This is the status of the printer: What lock is this referring to?

lpc> status
