LPR and "No Daemon Present"
Thomas/Shurflo
I've heard that it appears when there are no print jobs present, but I
have a printer setup (Samba uses it) with two print jobs waiting to
print and the same message. Here is the status
HP4DP:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
2 entries in spool area
no daemon present
Anyone know how to optimize printing on a Linux box? I want printing to
occur immediately with high priority. Currently the print queue just
seems to wait and wait.
I can send restart the print queues with "lpc restart printer" but I
don't understand why I have to restart them.
Anyone?

I have noticed that the daemon dies after he was unable to send
the printjob to the printer (e.g. power off, no paper, ...)
but the daemon should resume after the fault is restored....
Looking forward to a solution

If you are using a recent version of "lprold" from Suse: due to a "bug"
in the lpr-package. AFAIK their package-maintainer fixed a security bug
and introduced this one. The message "no daemon present" is reported, if
you enter "lpc status" right after starting the lpd-daemon.
