Well, I used the default printcap, which contains the following entry: lp|local line printer:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: > Have you tried replacing the lpd binary? Yes, I replaced it with the one that comes in the #2 CD, labeled "Live File System" (in the Walnut Creek set), but nothing changed. I suspected a problem with the enhanced parallel port setting, so I changed it to normal mode, but nothing. What else could I try?
