Troubleshooting Line Printer Spooler Manual
LPD
The /pd program can write many different messages to the error log file (the file specified in the
If entry in printcap). Most of these messages are about files which can not be opened and usu-
ally indicate the printcap file or the protection modes of the files are not correct. Files may
also be inaccessible if people manually manipulate the line printer system (i.e. they bypass the
/pr program).
In addition to messages generated by /pd, any of the filters that lpd spawns may also log mes-
sages to this file.

could't start printer
This case is the same as when lpr reports that the daemon cannot be started.
cannot examine spool directory
Error messages beginning with "cannot ... " are usually due to incorrect ownership and/or
protection mode of the lock file, spooling directory or the lpc program.
