LPD won't run...(515/tcp port)
I can't print anything on my usb Epson printer
although the module configuration for USB is right (printer detected by 'usbview'). My computer has no internet connection and I don't know anything about network. But I've seen things while building a kernel telling me I needed an internet protocol. That makes me think I may have got a network configuration problem all the same. First, when installing the lprng package (woody) : ------ debian:/home/jeancharles# apt-get install lprng (...) Dépaquetage de lprng (à partir de .../lprng/lprng_3.8.10-1_i386.deb) ...

Since last summer, when I moved from Mandrake to Debian Woody,
I can't print. But I hope I can soon : I realized that I forgot to compile my kernel with the option IP... (Thouhg I have no internet connection - and I knew I had to tick this one! ) Now, I have new messages and I still can't print : ----- root@localhost:~# lpr aeff.txt root@localhost:~# lpq Printer: lp@debian 'jcimpr' Queue: no printable jobs in queue Server: no server active Status: job 'root@debian+999' error 'aborting operations' at 01:13:33.551 Rank Owner/ID Class Job Files Size Time error root@debian+999 A 999 ERROR: aborting operations root@localhost:~# netstat -an |grep 515 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:515 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN root@localhost:~# fuser -v 515/tcp USER PID ACCESS COMMAND 515/tcp root 1941 f.... lpd root@localhost:~# ps auxw | grep lpd daemon 1941 0.0 0.3 2244 872 ?
