Hi, I am trying to implement lpr on an SGI IRIS 4D/220 running system V unix and have obtained working copies of lpr,lpc,lpq and lprm. I have installed all the appropriate directories and invoked lpd and added the line in /etc/services for local_printer. However, when I type lpq or use lpc, they state that the daemon is not present and whatever I try to print simply piles up in the queue. Any ideas as to what's wrong here?

Thanks.--ams I posted such a beast... look in bu.edu:~ftp/src/PRINTING/SGI-LPR-LPD.SHAR I didn't put in local printers (ie; use of termio rather then sgtty) but someone else did! I saved THAT posting in the same dir as AUX-lpd -Phil

No, but why bother when you can get the latest MDQS release via anonymous FTP from host VGR.BRL.MIL. We're using that version on our 4Ds.
