lpd: no daemon present?

[carlf@panix.com (Carl Fink)]

I'm trying to set up printing using apsfilter and lpr (from 1.3.1).
All seems normal enough, I can print with lpr and lpq shows the job in
the queue, but I get this message:

Warning: no daemon present

However, a ps -aux | grep lpd gives this:

root       239  0.0  0.6   836   304  ?  S     22:43   0:00 lpd

So, is lpd not the daemon?  

Nothing prints.  My printer is an old Panasonic KXP-1080i configured
as an IBM Proprinter.  (Yes, mock me all you like, but I hate to throw
away printers that still work.)  If I become root and run lptest >
/dev/lp2, everything works.  My /etc/printcap is as follows:


# apsfilter setup Mon Aug  4 21:38:56 EDT 1997
#
# APS_BASEDIR:/usr/lib/apsfilter
#
#
lp|ascii|lp2|ibmpro-letter-ascii-mono|ibmpro ascii mono:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt2:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ibmpro-letter-ascii-mono:\
	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/ibmpro-letter-ascii-mono/log:\
	:af=/var/spool/lpd/ibmpro-letter-ascii-mono/acct:\
	:if=/usr/lib/apsfilter/filter/aps-ibmpro-letter-ascii-mono:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:

Okay, why does this not work?

Thanks in advance.
