Can't print after kernel compile

[Ken Januski <kenjanuski@mindspring.com>]

Hi,

I installed Debian from binaries about a year ago. Today I finally
compiled from the source code. Most everything seems fine except for
printing. Using lpq I get message asking if my printer "is offline?".
Trying to print from Netscape I get "lpr:connect Connection refused.
Jobs queued but cannot start daemon."

And yet a ps -aux | grep lpd shows 2 copies running. I can kill one but
problem remains.

Any ideas? Could I have set up something incorrectly in kernel?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Ken
