Hello,
	I have a printer that I can't setup. I have setup /etc/printcap,
and I run the lpd deamon. But when I try to do anything, it says:
warning: no daemon present.

Anybody has any ideas?

Thanks,

the master lpd daemon only spawns a copy of itself when there is a job in the
queue. ie if you do (from lpc) stat on an empty queue, you will see no daemon
present.

And if it still doesn't work, create the file you specified as "lf" 
with "touch <file>" and look for further messages there.
If this doens't make you any wiser, some details on the "anything" you
tried to do will be very helpful :-)
