Hi Some dumb questions: > / IP Address : 10.0.0.250 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 ??? Default Gateway : 10.0.0.250 <- ?? How can it resolve its own problems? Syslog Server : Not Specified hptq:\ :lp=:\ :rm=skinner:\ :rp=text1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hptq.log:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hptq: hprq:\ :lp=:\ :rm=skinner:\ :rp=raw1:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/hprq.log:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hprq: root at homer:# lpd -P skinner xwindows.txt ??? Isn't this lpr? Perhaps the space between the P and the skinner isn't significant, but I've seen where it is. The job never comes out. Looking in /var/spool/lpd the job it sitting there: root at Homer:/var/spool/lpd# ls cfA026Homer dfA026Homer lock lpd.lock status and cat status gives: root at Homer:/var/spool/lpd# cat status ??? I thought spooldir was lpd/hptq Ed Hoeffner 1-271 BSBE 312 Church St. SE Mpls, MN 55455 hoeffner at dcmir.med.umn.edu 612-625-2115 612-625-2163 fax
