Printing trouble driving me crazy.

["Johannes Graumann" <j_graumann@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

I installed lpr-ppd, printfilters-ppd and printtool through dselect.
I used printtool to set up our printer and have the problem that I can't 
print to it now. When (as a user) I do 'lpr -Plj8150 maccoss_2002.pdf && 
lpq' I get: no entries. 'ps aux | grep lpd' gives me:
root     23485  0.0  0.0  2048  732 ?        S    09:33   0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
- so that seems to be running.
I have attached /etc/printcap, lpc 'status' and ls -l /var/spool/lpd output.

Please give me a hint. What am I doing wrong?
