I don't see what llbd has to do with it. Unix lpd stuff isn't NCS based as far I as I'm aware. I've been playing around with the berkeley print stuff the last couple of weeks and haven't had any problems with it at all. I did however experience the "No Daemon present" syndrome and in fact, haven't been able to get that to go away. It doesn't seem to affect the operation of the lpd stuff though. What does your printcap entry look like for this printer? If you set up this printer to work from one of your Sparc's does it work? (I'm wondering if its a problem with your /dev/printer socket or whether the problem is deeper. Also, how 'bout setting up your device to be /dev/tty01 instead of /dev/sio1. I'm not overly aware of what exactly the differences are but I've found in the past that Unix utilities much prefer the ttyxx stuff over the sio stuff. Incidentally, we much prefer the NCS printing stuff to lpd but that's not the point. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: herb@blender.UUCP || #define Janitor Administrator ICBM: 51 03 N / 114 03 W || Apollo System_Janitor, Novatel Communications "I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone..."
