This section covers some common things that can go wrong with your printing
system.
<P>If your printer doesn't work:
<UL>
<LI>Do other print jobs work? (application problem?)</LI>
<LI>Is lpd running? (check it using lpc) (print controller?)</LI>
<LI>Can root send something directly to the printer? (print services?)</LI>
<LI>Can you print from DOS? (cable/printer problem?)</LI>
</UL>
Answering these questions can help find a solution.
<P>Send other suggestions for this section to <markk@auratek.com>.
