Re: network printer problems

[complaw@hal-pc.org]

I tried that too.  Still no luck.  However, here is the lpc status all now...

lp35_05:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	no entries
	no daemon present
lp35A:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	5 entries in spool area
	lp35A is ready and printing
lp35:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	8 entries in spool area
	waiting for lp35 to become ready (offline ?)

Which shows no change from when I implemented Nick's suggestion.

Thanks anyway.
