ps -e | grep rlp
If the process is running, you will see one or more lines of text; if it is not
running, you will see no response.
2
If
rlp
is running—that is, you saw one or more lines of text in step 1— kill the process
by typing
kill -15
process_number_from_step_1

Make sure the following entry is in the
/etc/inetd.conf
file:
printer stream tcp nowait root
/usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i

Make sure the following entry is in the
/etc/services
file:
printer 515/tcp spooler
