Looking in > /usr/sbin/ there is only lptcontrol and lptest there. For some wacky reason, lpd is missing from /usr/sbin. Fortunately, you have the source sitting there to build and install lpd.

You ought to be able to start it then. :) -danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
