Hello, I have been unable to print on my line printer after I moved to Ultrix 4.0 from 3.1. The status message reads "no daemon present". The error log file reads: /usr/lib/lpd: lp: cannot open /dev/lp0 () I changed the protection on /dev/lp0, but it didn't help. Can somebody help me out? Thanks. -- sudha@kbesrl.me.uiuc.edu

What does (as root) "cp /etc/printcap /dev/lp0" do? What's the output of "ls -lg /dev/lp0" What type of device is it supposed to be?
