Can anyone help me?
I did a fresh install of RH-9 on a new Dell
box. Everything went smoothly except that the print spooler refuses to
start. During the boot sequence start of lpd I get the error message:
'Cannot bind to lpd port 515'. I get this fatal error message as
well when trying to start lpd manually from the command prompt.
Naturally, the CUPS configuration tool and 'lpc' also don't work because the
spooler daemon isn't running.
Some other facts:
- There is only one printer configured, attached
locally to the parallel printer port
- 'dmesg' properly recognizes 'parport 0' and
assigns it to lp0 (looks just like RH-7.2 and RH-7.3 boxes that are
printing fine.)
- I can redirect output to /dev/lp0 and the
printer will spit out some text
- I have run 'up2date' and installed all the
updated rpm's -- including one for LPRNG and two for CUPS
- Searched four months of shrike-list but didn't
see any obvious references to this problem
- Looked for ideas in RH's FAQ, but came up
empty.
So... Is there anyone out there who has
been through this or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance for your help.
