Printing

["Stephen E. Hargrove" <stephen@virtual-attorney.com>]

I'm having problems getting my printer going.  It was working, then I had
to reinstall, and now I can't get it back up.  Following is a sequence of
events that seem fairly typical:

# ps ax | grep lpd
1864 ?     S    0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
1865 ?     S    0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd

# lpr -Plp deleteme.txt
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

# ps ax | grep lpd
1864 ?      S    0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
1885 ttyp0  S    0:00 grep lp

# tail /var/log/lpr.log
Apr 11 14:49:04 firestarter lpd[1865]: lp: lost connection

# cat /etc/printcap

lp:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :rm=192.168.2.50:\
        :tr:\
        :rp=lp:\
        :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
        :lpd_bounce=true:

# npadmin --status 192.168.2.50
status="ready to print";

As you can see, it's a network printer (HP LaserJet 2100TN).  Every time,
it's the same.  I just cannot get anything to print.  If anyone has any
advice, I'd really appreciate it.
