Did you run checkpc?  This is an LPRng command to validate your printcap.

        Subject:        LPRng: lpd process running foolish


Hello,

I'm posting to the mailing list because I've a problem I'm unable to solve 
by 
myself. I read the FAQ, browsed the web mailing list, but unfortunately 
didn't found an answer.

The problem is quite simple. I've defined very basic printers in 
/etc/printcap.
 

lp
:sd=/var/spool/lp/lpd
:lp=printer_FDQN%9100
:mx=0

As you can see, the entry is trivial. The printer is an HP laserjet. It is 

possible to send a job through the port 9100 with netcat. 

What happens when I launch a job is that the job is accepted by lpr, but 
nothing is printed. Moreover, a new lpd process is running and consumes 
100% 
of the CPU time; it never dies and I need to 1° kill the process and 2° 
empty 
the queue.

I've checked with several versions of LPRng, but no changes.

Anyone an idea?

Regards,

Eric
