It would be nice if this were >patched in the major Linux distributions. on two differents linux box (using mandrake 8.1), one of these can run lpd and ppr at the same time (pprd and lpd) on the other ppr runs ok but lpd fails (error is socket already in use) Have you got an idea about it ? do I have to start lpd before pprd or pprd before lpd , or something else ?
