[plug] trouble configuring printers under Redhat 7.2

[Buddrige, David]

Hi all,

I am having some difficulty getting a network printer to work.  I am using
Redhat Linux 7.2.  I have been using printtool to try and configure the
printer.  However when I try to start the lpd daemon, I get the following
results:

[root at mit243linux init.d]# ./lpd start
Starting lpd: Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/printconf-backend", line 7, in ?
    import printconf_backend
  File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py", line 208, in ?
    pass
  File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_backend.py", line 708, in
rebuild_queues
    for dir in map(lambda x: "%s/%s" % (lpd_spool_dir, x),
os.listdir(lpd_spool_dir)):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
No Printers Defined                                        [  OK  ]



Below is the contents of my /etc/printcap - this was generated using
printtool.

Can anyone see what might be wrong here?
