[comp.sys.next] Printer problems on cube

tfb@unf7.UUCP (t blakely) (10/13/90)

We're having problems printing on our single next cube (which resides on
an ethernet with suns, sequents and others).  Initially I can print one
file, any subsequent attempts at printing give "can't start daemon" errors.
If I kill and restart lpd, the top file on the queue prints, but it "can't
start a daemon" for any others.  Any help would be appreciated.

Here is another printer problem. My printer daemon apparently spits out the
following messages to the console:


Oct 10 16:53:08 next npd[111]: found mismatch on printer status, 0x00001110 !=
0x00000010

Oct 10 16:54:53 next npd[111]: found mismatch on printer status, 0x00000010 !=
0x00001110

Is there something broken? The printer seems to work most of the time quite
nicely, so is this cause for concern?
