I am running version 5.1 and I am having printer problems. I have read and
tried everything in the System Administrators Guide and nothing works!!
Nothing will print out - when I try to print - I receive this error:
Job Number is: 71
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
I did an lpc status:
# lpc status
hpcolor_text:
printer is on remote host feahpc with name text
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
hpcolor_grp:
printer is on remote host feahpc with name raw
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
this is what the lpstat -t looks like:
lpstat -t
System default destination: lp
Scheduler is running
Output for printer hpcolor_text is sent to remote printer text on feahpc
Output for printer hpcolor_grp is sent to remote printer raw on feahpc

Since it said it could not start the daemon - I started it:
# /sbin/init.d/lpd start
Printer service started
Still nothing - it just sits in the queue. I hope I gave everyone enough
information. This is not a new printer setup - everyone has been printing
okay for years. Not sure what happened or what I can do to fix the problem
- but any help would be appreciated.
