LPD Printing Error

[ron46]

Hi,

We are experiencing a lpd error. The exact error is as follows: Oct 5 13:05:08 <servername> lpd[13738] : select: Bad file number. This is a repeated error which will continue to repeat itself, increasing the syslog size. We have to manually kill the pid on this lpd error to allow the following print jobs to process. We are running SCO Openserver version 5.0.6 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

try to run '/usr/lib/lpshut'
After that try 'ps -ef | grep lpd' to see if you have any lpd-processes running. If you find any, issue 'kill [pid]' where [pid] is the process id of the lpd process.

Finally run '/usr/lib/lpsched' to start lpd service again.
