There needs to be a line in your /etc/inetd.conf file on your HP-UX
system that reads:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon       rlpdaemon -i -l

This line is usually commented out in the shipped version of inetd.conf.
In essence this line tells the inetd daemon to execute rlpdaemon -i -l
when a request for the printer service (515) is received.

An alternative solution is to execute /usr/lib/rlpdaemon -l from
within /etc/rc.  When kicked off in this fashion the -i option MUST
not be used.

Note:  The -l option tells rlpdaemon to log to /usr/spool/lp/lpd.log.

p.s. I prefer the inetd.conf solution, though the /etc/rc solution
may execute faster.
