Hi all.  I'm trying to print to a remote printer.  I'm havng problems because
I can't seem to get the printer daemons going.  Whenever I send something into
the queue, it stays there.  If I do a lpq, it says Warning: no daemon present.
I do a lpc to start the daemon, and it says starting, but still nothing. 

any hints??? 

thanx..alex...
