? 	6) lpc restart (or stop, start etc) always tells you
? 		'cannot start server' (or cannot stop server etc.)

? One of the entries that do not work looks like:
? 
? pawlp|line printer:\
?         :pc=/usr/apollo/bin/prf -banner off -text -npag -pr lw -headers off -s //geant -pre10:lp=/dev/null:\
		   ^^^^^^^^^
		   Oooohhhh!  I *do* believe this is your problem;
		   since /com/prf spools out to /sys/print/spooler,
		   and uses an sio port defined elsewhere, you're
		   not required to specify an output device (lp=).
		   SO, simply define 'lp like this:  :lp=:

		   I'll bet this'll work, it's happened to me
		   before on Apollo, Sun & Cimlinc boxes.

  You're welcome,
