As of last night I am suddenly unable to print.
I am seeing an error "Cannot bind to lpd port '515'"
I have tried to restart lpd to no avail.
Am running RH8 on this particular desktop PC but was planning to upgrade it to RH9 later today.
Any thoughts? Likely a hardware or a software failure? I really don't like this motherboard and have been thinking about upgrading it as well
Software. Are you running cups *and* lprng? You can only run one at a time :-) Another possible failure is that you aren't root. Try "netstat -anp | grep 515" or "/sbin/lsof -i:515" to see if something else is already using port 515.
LPRng is deprecated in RH9 in favour of cups -- so if you're upgrading, I wouldn't worry about it. Just run the redhat-config-package when you've upgraded and remove LPRng and install Cups. You'll have to re-configure your printer, but when I did it it only took about a minute.
Note that if you're using the printer remotely using the lpr protocol, you'll need to enable that from printconf.
