We've recently upgraded our 68030 cube to the 2.0 OS and printing has become a bit flakey. Most of our printing is via PC/NFS (which uses the standard lpr system) to the NeXT's printer and to two serial- attached printers. Since the upgrade we've had intermittent printing failures. For no apparent reason printing ceases (sometimes in mid-job), lpq tells us that daemons are not present (and ps confirms that) and we're stuck. Ps shows a single /usr/lib/lpd still present. Starting another does nothing. However, killing the old /usr/lib/lpd (so that now there are no lpd daemons present) _then_ starting a new one makes everything peachy-keen again. Is this a known bug? Any ideas? Thanks! -Dean -- Dean Pentcheff (dean2@garnet.berkeley.edu) Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley CA 94720
