I  can kill it no problem but when I restart it I get:
/etc/init.d/lpd restart
Stopping printer spooler: lpd not running.
Starting printer spooler: lpd.

Yep I run it and it just sits there for a while and then returns a lpq gives me
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size

3rd    coach      20   (standard input)                      79835 bytes
I try "lpc up all" and I get

lp:
	printing enabled
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
	couldn't start daemon

$ lpc enable all
lp:
	queuing enabled

an d just to make sure :
ps ax | grep lpd
  741 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
 1621 pts/1    S      0:00 grep lpd


I also tried "lpc restart all"  and I get this
lp:
	daemon (pid 741) killed
lp:
lpc: connect: No such file or directory
	couldn't start daemon

any ideas?
