Subject: Re: How to set hostname in YDL 2.1?

Things to check:
1) That lpd is running
You might use
service lpd start
or
service lpd restart
as root in a command terminal. (If you become root by su, you might need
to use /usr/sbin/service )
2) Maybe the printer is not configured correctly (spooling disabled?).
Try running printtool to re-configure your printer. Specifically, try
creating a new printer to represent your current device and see if that
works.
I'm not sure what the specific error message you are getting means -
perhaps someone else has more direct experience in this area.
