[gentoo-user] got lprng?

[maxim wexler <blissfix@yahoo.com>]

Then you're part of a dying breed evidently.

I wasn't able to get cups to work so installed lprng.

For more details on my problem go to the archives and
search against my name and 'print' and 'cups'

This is what I see in my log. It says at least two
spoolers active but ps -A reveals only one.

2006-02-19-14:13:11.018 sarawak [5955] lpd  Do_lock:
flock failed 'Resource temporarily unavailable'
Fatal error - Another print spooler active, possibly
lpd process '5948'
2006-02-19-14:13:11.022 sarawak [5955] lpd  cleanup:
done, exit(0)

After running lprng stop ps-A reveals _no_ lpd
processes and after attempts to print the log reports
that the printer is "waiting".

I used # lpd -F -D1 to read the log according to the
instructions at

lprng.com/PrintingCookbook/index.html

Someone suggested that that particular command started
another spooler. But if everything was alright in the
first place it should have printed (lpr -J file.txt)
before having to look at the log to see what was
wrong.
