Hi all.

On my 2.2.5 box I could print fine, but since my upgrade
to 2.2.7 ... all hell broke loose.

This is my orig /etc/printcap file:

lp|lexmark:\
	:rm=f.q.d.n:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lpd.errors:

No problem there, and it worked fine.

But now on 2.2.7, whenever I try to print
using lpr I get this:

lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

The jobs get spooled alright, but in
/var/spool/output/lpd.  If I update
my /etc/printcap file to that directory,
I get the same results.

Did I miss someting in the 2.2.7 release.

Thanks for the help.

-Jacques
