-.NH 1
-Troubleshooting
-.PP
-There are several messages that may be generated by the
-the line printer system. This section
-categorizes the most common and explains the cause
-for their generation. Where the message implies a failure,
-directions are given to remedy the problem.
-.PP
-In the examples below, the name
-.I printer
-is the name of the printer from the
-.I printcap
-database.
-.NH 2
-LPR
-.SH
-lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: unknown printer
-.IP
-The
-.I printer
-was not found in the
-.I printcap
-database. Usually this is a typing mistake; however, it may indicate
-a missing or incorrect entry in the /etc/printcap file.
-.SH
-lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
-.IP
-The connection to
-.I lpd
-on the local machine failed.
-This usually means the printer server started at
-boot time has died or is hung. Check the local socket
-/dev/printer to be sure it still exists (if it does not exist,
-there is no
-.I lpd
-process running).
-Usually it is enough to get a super-user to type the following to
-restart
-.IR lpd .
-.DS
-% /usr/lib/lpd
-.DE
-You can also check the state of the master printer daemon with the following.
-.DS
-% ps l`cat /usr/spool/lpd.lock`
-.DE
-.IP
-Another possibility is that the
-.I lpr
-program is not set-user-id to \fIroot\fP, set-group-id to group \fIdaemon\fP.
-This can be checked with
-.DS
-% ls \-lg /usr/ucb/lpr
-.DE
-.SH
-lpr: \fIprinter\fP\|: printer queue is disabled
-.IP
-This means the queue was turned off with
-.DS
-% lpc disable \fIprinter\fP
-.DE
-to prevent
-.I lpr
-from putting files in the queue. This is normally
-done by the system manager when a printer is
-going to be down for a long time. The
-printer can be turned back on by a super-user with
-.IR lpc .
-.NH 2
-LPQ
-.SH
-waiting for \fIprinter\fP to become ready (offline ?)
-.IP
-The printer device could not be opened by the daemon.
-This can happen for several reasons,
-the most common is that the printer is turned off-line.
-This message can also be generated if the printer is out
-of paper, the paper is jammed, etc.
-The actual reason is dependent on the meaning
-of error codes returned by system device driver.
-Not all printers supply enough information
-to distinguish when a printer is off-line or having
-trouble (e.g. a printer connected through a serial line).
-Another possible cause of this message is
-some other process, such as an output filter,
-has an exclusive open on the device. Your only recourse
-here is to kill off the offending program(s) and
-restart the printer with
-.IR lpc .
-.SH
-\fIprinter\fP is ready and printing
-.IP
-The
-.I lpq
-program checks to see if a daemon process exists for
-.I printer
-and prints the file \fIstatus\fP located in the spooling directory.
-If the daemon is hung, a super user can use
-.I lpc
-to abort the current daemon and start a new one.
-.SH
-waiting for \fIhost\fP to come up
-.IP
-This implies there is a daemon trying to connect to the remote
-machine named
-.I host
-to send the files in the local queue.
-If the remote machine is up,
-.I lpd
-on the remote machine is probably dead or
-hung and should be restarted as mentioned for
-.IR lpr .
-.SH
-sending to \fIhost\fP
-.IP
-The files should be in the process of being transferred to the remote
-.IR host .
-If not, the local daemon should be aborted and started with
-.IR lpc .
-.SH
-Warning: \fIprinter\fP is down
-.IP
-The printer has been marked as being unavailable with
-.IR lpc .
-.SH
-Warning: no daemon present
-.IP
-The \fIlpd\fP process overseeing
-the spooling queue, as specified in the ``lock'' file
-in that directory, does not exist. This normally occurs
-only when the daemon has unexpectedly died.
-The error log file for the printer and the \fIsyslogd\fP logs
-should be checked for a
-diagnostic from the deceased process.
-To restart an \fIlpd\fP, use
-.DS
-% lpc restart \fIprinter\fP
-.DE
-.SH
-no space on remote; waiting for queue to drain
-.IP
-This implies that there is insufficient disk space on the remote.
-If the file is large enough, there will never be enough space on
-the remote (even after the queue on the remote is empty). The solution here
-is to move the spooling queue or make more free space on the remote.
-.NH 2
-LPRM
-.SH
-lprm: \fIprinter\fP\|: cannot restart printer daemon
-.IP
-This case is the same as when
-.I lpr
-prints that the daemon cannot be started.
-.NH 2
-LPD
-.PP
-The
-.I lpd
-program can log many different messages using \fIsyslogd\fP\|(8).
-Most of these messages are about files that can not
-be opened and usually imply that the
-.I printcap
-file or the protection modes of the files are
-incorrect. Files may also be inaccessible if people
-manually manipulate the line printer system (i.e. they
-bypass the
-.I lpr
-program).
-.PP
-In addition to messages generated by
-.IR lpd ,
-any of the filters that
-.I lpd
-spawns may log messages using \fIsyslogd\fP or to the error log file
-(the file specified in the \fBlf\fP entry in \fIprintcap\fP\|).
-.NH 2
-LPC
-.PP
-.SH
-couldn't start printer
-.IP
-This case is the same as when
-.I lpr
-reports that the daemon cannot be started.
-.SH
-cannot examine spool directory
-.IP
-Error messages beginning with ``cannot ...'' are usually because of
-incorrect ownership or protection mode of the lock file, spooling
-directory or the
-.I lpc
-program.
