Hello, I got a serious problem with lpd on my print-server running FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE; "sometimes" (I think it happens when very large files are printed or when printer has troubles with memory) printers hang (usually around 95% of job) and lpd falls dead, this is what it looks like with ps: 34131 ?? D 10:01.48 /usr/sbin/lpd the process becomes unkillable (even turning into single user mode) and also removing the lock file and restarting lpd helps since new process cannot recognize printers (messages like "printer offline" "printing disable"...); the only way to return to a proper status I found until now was rebooting but I don't like rebooting... :) so does anyone have a clue about that? ps: printers are: - HP laserjet 1100 - Epson Stylus Photo 870 they get jobs from machines running windows 98 (on samba) and linux (slackware 2.4.5 kernel) -- Lorenzo Scano To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
