Hello, 
 
 I got a printing problem about the lpd, I just cannot start the lpd with the
 following lines in the printcap file.
 
 lp|local line printer:\
 	:sh:\
 	:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:mx#0:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

 ef404 | HP LJ:\
 	:sh:\
 	:lp=:rm=158.132.148.254:sd=/var/spool/output/ef404:mx#0:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
 
 when I start lpd, I got the following error message.
 chkprintcap: ef404 and lp share the same spool, /var/spool/output/lpd
 lpd: 1 errors in printcap file, exiting

 However when I comment out one of them say the "lp| local line printer " part.

 I start lpd, no error message this time. But when I use lpq -q to check the
 printing status,
 
 if says,
 
 ef404:
 warning: no daemon present.

However,   I have check the directory /var/spool/output/ef404 do exist.
 
 Actucally, I tried to use different spool directory before, say,
 I create a directory /var/spool/ef404 and set sd=/var/spool/ef404:
 and change the owner of the directory to daemon.daemon and  770(chmod).
 
 and test it. But still cannot fix it!

 Can anyone tell me how to fix it? 
Thanks a lot!
 
 Regards,
 Kevin
