I can restart on both systems via /sbin/service restart cups. I can manage the cups app in both systems via the web interface - http://localhost:631 No I cannot tell the status. In an earlier post, I mentioned that I have 2 queues defined now on the server (HP841C and HP841C_SHARED), and I have one on the laptop (HP841C_LOCAL). Here is the result of the lpq command on each: [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C Printer: HP841C@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C_LOCAL Printer: hp841c_local@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c_local' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ lpq -PHP841C_SHARED Printer: HP841C_SHARED@localhost - ERROR: spool queue for 'hp841c_shared' does not exist on server localhost.localdomain non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f' [bill@dhcppc1 bill]$ Obviously, I have something messed up. Any suggestions where else to look? Your advise and expertise and greatly appreciated. I'm always amazed at the quick responses I get from these newsgroups. Regards, Bill Johnson
