Re: [Sheflug] printing post cable modem

[Matt Fairtlough <nospam [at] blueyonder.co.uk>]

Well, it seems I have lost lpd completely. Instead I have the following
structure, where the files /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K60lpd and so on are links to
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd which DOES NOT EXIST.  So I can't do lpd start,
lpd stop or anything because there is no lpd.  Now how on earth could it
have got deleted, and how have all those directories /etc/rc.d/rc<n>.d
come into existence?  Thinks: reinstall linux (and all those packages?:-(

AAARGHHHHHH!  Just when I am inundated with work and things to do at home...

Anyway, the modem thrashing stopped on reboot.  I'm none the wiser.
