Printer Daemon (Update)

Since I installed release 2.4.1 I have been having a problem printing. I
am using a USB printer.

My printcap is

prt01|lp|lp1|Default Printer
   :sh:\
   :sd=/var/spool/output/lp1:\
   :lp=/dev/ulpt0:\
   :if=/usr/local/libexec/dftif:\
   :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

My filter is

/bin/cat && printf"\f" && exit 0
exit 2

When I try to print and enter lpq I see

Warning: No daemon present

I then enter lpc start all and the file prints. When I try to print a
second file I get the same
warning and need to enter start again.

The log file just says lpd startup.

Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks, Jim Chapman

Update

The socket /var/run/printer has permissions rwxrwx---. If I change them to rwxrwxrwx there is no problem printing.

Since no one else is complaining about this I assume I have something set incorrectly but have run out of ideas.

Thanks, Jim Chapman
