I'm using a diskless machine (IRIS-4D 20B) under IRIX 3.3.2, and I have problems with printing on a remote printer. I'm using the BSD system (lpr, lpq, lpd) and I'm keep getting the the following error messages: > lpr foo lpr: connect: Socket operation on non-socket jobs queued, cannot start daemon. > lpq isolde: Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files 1st jacky 39 foo.c By the way, I have noticed that the file /dev/printer is not a special file as it suposse to be, but a plain one with the attributes: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root lp 0 Apr 15 13:24 /dec/printer* Thanks, and sorry for my bad english. -- Jacky Romano Center for intelligent Systems Technion - IIT Haifa - Israel E-mail: jacky@isaac.cs.technion.ac.il

It seems that diskless machines can't create sockets (at least the 4D/20s anyway). I also cannot run Xwindows for the same reason, although I am able to run X applications if the environment variable DISPLAY is set okay. Running xinit or xstart just causes the machine to wait for a socket to be create to the Xserver, and it just sits there and waits, and waits..... Machines with disks (both 4D/20 and 4D/25s seem to behave properly). I've had no response from the SGI huys over here as yet. Any suggestions will be greatly apreciated.

This is a known problem, actually with how nfs handled the fact that the file was of type "socket", bug number 11531. A fix has been incorporated into Irix version 3.3.3.
