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.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it? 

Thanks a lot!


Regards,
Kevin
