lpr can't connect to lpd

[YCL]

On one of our RH 6.0 machines, whenever I use lpr to send a print job (e.g.&nbsp;&nbsp;lpr&nbsp;&nbsp;-Plp1&nbsp;&nbsp;file.txt), it says&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;lpr:&nbsp;&nbsp;Connect: Connection refused.&nbsp;&nbsp;Job queued, but couldn't start daemon.&quot;<br>Sure enough, the job is queued in the spool dir with both the cf and df files, but it just won't send to the printer.<br><br>It appears that&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lpr can't connect to lpd to notify it that there are jobs in the&nbsp;&nbsp;spooling area.<br><br>any clue on how to resolve this?<br><br>We also don't have much luck configuring a print queue to print to a printer connected to a HP JetDirect. Does anyone have any success in this?<br><br>thanks for any comment / info .<br><br>-al<br>&nbsp;
