[ale] goofy printing problem

[Josh Murrah]

First of all, thanks for the help so far.

What I've found is :

1)  I didn't have a /etc/hosts.lpd   I added this in, no help.
2)  lpd isn't answering on it's port (515).  <-- I think this is my prob.
3)  lpd doesn't show up on a list if I do a ps -auxww.

anybody?  How do I get lpd to stay running/answer it's port??

Thanks!
