[comp.unix.ultrix] I can't print on the line printer!!

kbesrl@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (09/15/90)

I am having a problem printing stuff on my line printer (LP25).  I am running
Ultrix V4.0 on a MicroVAX II.  When I use lpq, it says "no daemon present".
Even if I use lpc to restart the daemon, it wouldn't work.  I checked
lpd-errs file and the message there is as follows:
/usr/lib/lpd: lp: cannot open /dev/lp0 ()
/usr/lib/lpd: lp0: cannot open /dev/lp0 ()
My script printer on /dev/tty06 is working fine.  The line printer was working
fine under V3.1.  I'd appreciate if somebody can help me out?

I already did the following:
1. Kill daemon and restart it.
2. Remove /dev/lp0 and made it again.
3. Disable and then enable queing, printing, etc.
4. The protection on /dev/lp0 is crw-rw-rw-
5. I removed /dev/printer and it didn't have any effect either.

(some of the above things might look silly, but I am no expert in unix
and I thought I'll try everything that is remotely related).

Thanks.
