printer server problem

I can't print.  When I try "lpq", I get "lpq:  Unable to contact server!".  I 
did a "ps -A" in an xterm and saw a process for "lpd".  I can't figure this 
out.  I could reboot and that might fix it, but I want to know how I can fix 
it without rebooting.  I tried printing from StarOffice, and when that 
failed, I tried printing to a ps file, and ran "lpr -Ppsjet file.ps" which 
works fine, usually.  I am using Slackware 8.0, KDE 2.2, and StarOffice 5.2.

Any suggestions?
