restart printer deamon

[telemorgan]

hey guys

im having some funky things going on here when printing. I wanted to know how I could stop and restart the printer deamon. Also, this is a production box besides not letting anyone print for that time period would it effect anything else?

Tanks

Thanks anyway.

# /etc/init.d/lp stop
Print services stopped.
# /etc/init.d/lp start
Print services started.
# lp exp_status.out

The print deamon can be shut down with command lpshut. The deamon can be restarted with command /usr/lib/lpsched. You can also check the status of the printer with the lpc command. Then stat <printer name>. This way you can verify if printer queue and printing are enabled.
