"lpc status lp" command reports that it is up, a job is spooled, and the printer is idle but nothing comes out. I am finding the following types of messages in /var/log/lpd.errs: lp: unable to open dfA000xenon ('f' line) lp: job could not be printed (cfA000xenon) xenon is the name of my computer. I am wondering if this is another problem with my hosts file? it has only these lines in it: ::1 localhost xenon 127.0.0.1 localhost xenon "sockstat" shows for lpd: root lpd 489 3 dgram -> /var/run/logpriv root lpd 489 5 stream -> /var/run/printer root lpd 489 6 tcp6 *.515 root lpd 489 7 tcp3 *.515 I am not certain what exactly is going on and if there is anywhere else I should be looking for clues.
