Hi,

Is there any idea about it? When I type 'lpr', this message appears:

..getconnection: bad port number for LPD connection!
check 'lpd-port' in configuration file, or the
/etc/services file for a missing 'printer 515/tcp' entry - No such file or
directory
Printer '[email protected]' - cannot open connection -
No such file or directory
Make sure LPD server is running on the server

I'm quite sure that LPD is runing. The '/etc/services' seems not to be
read.

Any advice is highly appreciated.
