Subject: 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?
