Re: Help now unable to print or restart lpd
Try /etc/init.d/lpd start or /etc/init.d/lpd restart - that's how the daemon is managed. if that doesn't work for some reason, try lpc<cr>enable all. These should start the lpd daemon. if you still can't print reasonable looking pages, magicfilterconfig will let you set up the appropriate filters for your printer. good luck.
