Roberto,
thanks a lot !
I had patch kit 3 (PK3) and after installing the PK6
( with
67) Patch 01052.00 - Corrects lpd parent daemon problems
Patch 01052.00 - Corrects lpd parent daemon problems
Patch: Corrects lpd parent daemon problems
Configuring "Patch: Corrects lpd parent daemon problems" (OSFPAT00105200510)
)
the lpd works fine now :-)
Greetings,
Rainer
