What am I doing wrong here? But do you have lpd running? (ps -ax will show). And you should check for the file/dir/dev permissions. And if everything is ok and it still don't work, try changing the line like lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs in /etc/syslog.conf to a line like lpr.debug /var/log/lpd-errs and see what will appear in the /var/log/lpd-errs. Oh yes, you should restart or at least kill -HUP the syslogd after changing the conf file. Hope that helps, Tanel
