Hi there --
One of our Fedora Core 2 workstations is unable to send lpd jobs to printers that are on a different subnet. Although CUPS is available, the primary application that is used on the workstation utilizes the lpd service. When a test page is attempted within the Setup/Printer Configuration utility, the error message that is displayed is the following:

There was an error trying to print the test page.

When I try to start the lpd daemon, via the /etc/init.d/lpd script, the following error appears on-screen:
Code:
Starting lpd: Warning - <printer>: Bad printcap entry - missing 'sd' or 'client' entry?
Fatal error - Cannot bind to lpd port '515'
[FAILED]
The CUPS utility is running on the system in question, and test pages from other applications, as well as within the CUPS itself are printed without any issues. I stopped CUPS, and tried the above steps again without any success.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this, and how it can be corrected? Thanks.
