OKI OkiLAN 6120e User’s Guide
If the LPD daemon is running, you should see output
similar to:
root 135 0.0 0.0 52 0 ? IW May 24 0:01
/usr/lib/lpd
If the LPD daemon is not running, start the daemon
by logging into the Sun-OS or Ultrix machine as root
and issuing the following command at the UNIX
prompt:
/usr/lib/lpd
Verify that the daemon is running by using the ps
command described previously.
To start the LPD daemon automatically when the
system boots, make sure that lines similar to the
following exist in the “/etc/rc” file:
if [ -f /usr/lib/lpd ] ; then
rm -f /dev/printer/var/spool/lpd.lock
/usr/lib/lpd; echo -n ‘ printer’
fi
