I just reconnected my printer to my unixpc after about a year of non-use. When I tried to print sonething, nothing came out (no suprise there :-)). But I was never able to get anything to work. lpstat -r said that the scheduler is not running. Invoking lpsched did not seem to help. Neither did enable or accept. I tried to reset the printer form the UA, but that did not help. The /etc/rc file seems to start the lp system, but rebooting did not help. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? (Probably something simple.) Thanks Tom Tkacik tkacik gmr.com

You might want to check the file: $ ls -l /usr/spool/lp/SCHEDLOCK -r--r--r-- 1 lp other 4 Jun 26 13:01 SCHEDLOCK If it is there and the scheduler is not running, you can remove it. You might want to check to make sure there is a line in /etc/.cleanup that reads: rm -f /usr/spool/lp/SCHEDLOCK Good luck, Lenny -- Paper-net: Lenny Tropiano | @-net: lenny@icus.UUCP ICUS Software Systems | !-net: ...att \ PO Box 1 | boulder \ Islip Terrace, NY 11752 | talcott !icus!lenny Vocal-net: (516) 582-5525 [work] | pacbell / (516) 968-8576 [home] | sbcs / Telex-net: 154232428 ICUS | Another-net: attmail!icus!lenny
