	I'm trying to get the BSD printing to run.  
	
	Although lpd starts up fine, the jobs just get queued up
	and don't move.  An "lpq -Pxx" gives "Warning: no daemon present"
	and an "lpc restart xx" gives "no daemon to abort, starting daemon"
	
	But the daemon is there....
	
	All the modes on the files are just what the manual said, and the 
	printer is hooked up because I can just dump stuff to it through
	"cat zzz > /dev/sio1" and it comes out fine.
	
	I've tried to kill and restart lpd, remove the /dev/printer socket,
	remove the lock files in /usr/spool/lpd/xx...
	
	I also have entries for the printer host in /etc/hosts.equiv, 
	/etc/hosts.lpd and /usr/spool/lpd/servername.
	
	All this is done from the node to which the printer is attached..
	
	NOTE:  I am doing nothing with the aegis printing system, although
	       I did get a suggestion to get aegis printing up first and then
	       place BSD printing on top.  I don't see why BSD printing won't work:{
	
	Anybody had similar experiences???

Do you have LLBD running?
