I recently upgraded my system from a Celeron 433 to an Athlon 800. In
the process I had to reinstall RH8. Since doing so I have not been able
to successfully install my Epson LQ-1170. Whenever I try starting lpd I
get "Cannot bind to lpd port '515'". I have tried installing it using
redhat-printer-config doing the same thing I did before the upgrade. If
I delete the entry in the configurator lpd starts without complaint. I
can push raw text out through the printer port using "cat text.txt > 
/dev/lp0" so the parallel port appears to be working OK. The printcap
entry written in by redhat-printer-config is: 

lq-1170:\ 
:ml#0:\ 
:mx#0:\ 
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lq-1170:\ 
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lq-1170/lq-1170.acct:\ 
:sh:\ 
:lp=/dev/lp0:\ 
:lpd_bounce=true:\ 
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper: 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
