I do have lpd process running (shows up in ps -ax), but i get a message saying: >lpq -P front Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st val 17 (standard input) 19 bytes 2nd val 18 (standard input) 6 bytes which shows both test jobs just sitting there. Here is my printcap file: front|front deskjet printer:\ :cm=DeskJet Print In Front:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/deskjet:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/deskjet/acct:\ :if=/usr/bin/smbprint:\ :mx=0:\ :sh: The samba docs say i need something like :lp=/dev/null:\ in there, but when i put this in there i get no output, my jobs just disappear with a messages in lpd-errs: Dec 17 19:30:30 ns lpd[25071]: cannot execv /usr/bin/smbprint Dec 17 19:30:30 ns lpd[25070]: front: job could not be printed (cfA001my.host.name) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
