lpd problem

[Remi Dumont <rdumont@worldnet.fr>]

    Hi,

    I've got a little problem, trying to use lpr with my HP laserjet
6L. Although I configured printcap and filters with apsfilter (the
printing of the test page worked fine !), each time I try (as root or as
normal user) to use lpr <file>, it answers:

    connection to 'localhost' failed - Connection refused
    job 'cfA633Orion.localdomain.fr' transfer to ascii@localhost failed

    I used to think my /etc/hosts and /etc/init.d/network were OK,
containing localhost (127.0.0.1) and its alias (Orion) but it must not
be so (everything was allright with redhat).

    "route" gives (when my ppp is off):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
localhost       *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        2
lo

    And when, as root, I type "lpd", I've got no answer (as it would
work) and what's more, a glance at my processes)  shows that lpd has not
been run.

    Anyone's got an idea ?
