I installed REV.G and the printer configuration went into the twilite zone ... Now, whenever I issue a lp , lpadmin , or lpstat command, it goes away for about 30 to 60 seconds only to return an error message : can't lock printer status Any ideas about what happened and how do I repair it ??????????
