[linux-help] RH-7.2 Printer -

[Bob Goodwin <bgoodwi3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a problem with printing from RH-7.2.

I get the following results -

[root@box1 root]# /usr/sbin/checkpc -f
Warning - lp0: cannot open lp device '/dev/lp0' - Permission denied

Permissions here look ok -

[root@box1 root]# ls -l /dev/lp0
crwxr-x---    1 root     lp         6,   0 Aug 30  2001 /dev/lp0

Then if I do "lpd" 

[root@box1 root]# lpd
Fatal error - Another print spooler is using TCP printer port, 
possibly lpd process '1367'


I don't know how to deal with that message?

I have tried setting up the printer from printtool and webmin 
with the same result. When I print a test page from printtool
it seems to think it works, says it sent it to the printer [an old 
Panasonic KX-P1091i] but the printer does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yes, I have a second hd with W98 on it and set up the printer there out of 
desperation, 
it works normally, so the hardware would seem to be ok. I have never had a 
problem printing 
from Linux that I can recall.
