I'm really confused here. I've defined a nice CUPS printer as mentioned earlier, using the web adminstration interface. The device URI is lpd://PS55255/L1 and it will print a nice test page when I click the "Print Test Page" button. But when I try to check the printer status, I get errors: [root@rachelslaptop root]# lpstat -p -d system default destination: LaserJet Printer 'LaserJet@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol Printer 'all@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol Printer 'LaserJet@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol Printer 'all@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol When I try to print a file, I get this: cochran@rachelslaptop lm_sensors-2.6.5]$ lp -d LaserJet Makefile Status Information: sending job 'bcochran@rachelslaptop+381' to LaserJet@localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 cannot open connection to localhost - No such file or directory Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol and accepts connections from this host and from non-privileged (>1023) ports [bcochran@rachelslaptop lm_sensors-2.6.5]$ I notice that cupsd and cups-lpd do not start at startup even with cups-lpd turned on via ntsysv. I've turned off lpd in all runlevels. I wonder if I'm missing an installation file? I have cups-1.1.15-10 installed. Are there other, related RPMs?
