lp stopped working--"connection refused"

[Jose L Gomez Dans <j.l.gomez-dans@sheffield.ac.uk>]

Hi!
	I have a debian box running as a samba printer server. I finally got
round to properly configure the last win 95 machine last night, and then...
problems stroke...

	To start with, submitting jobs to the server would put a couple of
files in the spool directory (of dfA/hfA pattern), but these wouldn't be
printed. Lpd was running, so it looked as if lpd couldn't see the files in
the spool directory. Strange...

	Today, I started getting ERRHRD=39. The files weren't even copied to
the server. After some tinkering about, it seems as if the samba server is
not displaying the printer as a service. So, from the server, i try to lpr
something, and to my surprise, find out that "connection to 'localhost'
failed - connection refused. job 'cfA...' transfer to ljet@localhost failed"

	So the spooler is doing its bit, it's just when it sends the job to
the printer that I get an error. I'm clueless as of what's going on in
here... Can anyone help?

	TIA,
	Jose
