Printing and lpd demon hogging cpu
 

Hi

I have got a machine running Ubuntu 6.06. I recently wanted to get a pdf document from this computer so I went through a procedure of adding a new printer and enabling it as a pdf and also enabling lpd printer. This did not work so I gave up, finding another way to print my document. After this the machine started to go really slowly, on looking at this machine I found the lpd demon (lpd Server demon) was eating up most of the cpu. If I killed it the machine recovered, I tried to remove the lpd package using synaptic but if I restart the machine this demon restarts and hogs the cpu. How do I stop this process other than killing it ? Is there any way round this bug without stopping the demon.

Can anyone help?

Does anyone no how to stop and start the lpd demon in ubuntu? I am knew to linux and don't know how to. Also does anyone know how to prevent this demon from hogging all the cpu, or starting it at all?

Thanks

Adrian

Can anyone please help, this problem is really slowing up my machine, and every time the computer is restarted it comes back. I also can not understand why there are 2 lpd demons!
