Description Need Real Name 2000-11-08 09:26:52 EST

I reported this bug to the creators of pnm2ppa, because I thought that it
was driver problem. This seems not to be the case: (I had installed a
HP710c local printer with printtool, which at first worked correctly)

I have this situation now:

-the command /sbin/modprobe lp crashes the system (at least I loose mouse
and keuboeard access)
- lpd gives FAILED when the system is being shutted down
- prittool crashes the system when trying to add a local printer.
- the ppa_detect script crashes the system (I suppose that this is because
executes modprobe lp )
- Duncan Haldane, from pnm2ppa suggested me that lp is corrupted, after
having uninstalled and reinstalled the LPrng, printtool and pnm2ppa

I don't know how to fix it. Do you have any clue ?
Please, let me know any news or if you need more data.
Thank you in advance

This problem is a consecuence of the bug  18686.
When localhost is not well configured, lpd does not work correctly.
It's easily solved configuring localhost. See 18686

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2000-11-26 00:09:36 EST

lpd isn't run from xinetd, which the quoted bug points at (and this issue was
fixed a long time ago, and an errata fixing this and other problems was released
- install by running up2date)
