Hi Guys,

yesterday I restarted my lpd daemon. (other reason).
--> all I remember doing.


Now I can't print at all. major crisis.

Constantly get:
su# tail /var/log/lpd-errs
Mar 16 14:54:55 su lpd[475]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory


Apparantly /dev/lp has gone AWOL.

No friggen idea why. Didn't touch the damn thing.

- MAKDEV lp won't work.
- Reboot won't work.
- restart lpd won't work.
- old printcap won't work as said.


Does anyone know where /dev/lp has gone???

worked with lp for years.!


thanks,
Paul.

here is printcap:
# Mine.
lp:\
 :ml=0:\
 :mx=0:\
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
 :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.acct:\
 :sh:\
### :rm=134.178.5.106:\
 :rm=134.178.5.159:\
 :rp=lp:\
 :lpd_bounce=true:\
 :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter:
