92049 2002-10-23 05:45:00 I am starting to use Linux and have, at different times loaded Red Hat 7.2 and I am having printing problems.

My setup recognises that I have a HP Dj820 attached to the parallel port and I can see the print jobs being sent to the spooler and to the printer but nothing happens

I have no problem printing in Windows.

Any clues as to why this occurs

92052 2002-10-25 03:14:00 Try (in a terminal screen) the useful commands lpq and lpc. The queue might be suspended for some reason. Are you sure that lpd is running? (ps aux | grep lpd) Start lpc with no options and type "help" for the options. Try restarting the queue. Graham L (2)
