I admire your tenacity. ;)

Ok- most everything in the directory /etc/init.d is a script that starts some sort of service.  You can restart them like so:

as root do:

/etc/init.d/lpd restart
/etc/init.d/cups restart

Log in as root if you have to or just become root but you really do need to get your username added to /etc/sudoers so you can use sudo.  

Pedro- there is never an email address for you.  When I hit 'reply' it only gives me <pedro regis> as an email address.  Do you have any idea why?  What is your email address please?
