Argh. I HATE having to reboot; it makes me ashamed.
Mandrake 8.2 Linux on an x86. Running both lpd and cupsd.
But, periodically, when I have my machine offering cups services on my
LAN, and they get used from across the LAN, printing hangs up. The
queue shows a big goob and nothing happens. I can empty the queue,
but nothing prints after that.
I try restarting cups --- /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart claims all is
hunky-dory. But when I restart lpd, I get the following error:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd start
Starting lpd: Warning - lp: cannot open lp device '/dev/lp0' - Device or resource busy
[ OK
]
And at this point, I don't know what to do to unwedge /dev/lp0, but
reboot. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, anyone able to explain why Mandrake gives me both LPD and CUPSD?
This might be a Bad Thing --- when I did the install, it repeatedly
crashed in printer configuration, so maybe I should have only ONE of
these... Is one built on the other, or are they competing?
Thanks!
