I think you need a /etc/hosts file entry for your
machine. 
 

That file contains: 
127.0.0.1Â  localhost.localdomain 
 
the [FAILED] means it was not running 
 
Did you set up the printer as a network printer? 
 

As local. 
 
Which RedHat did you just install? 
 

8.0

  Thanks, James.  When I entered 
/etc/init.d/lpd stop 
I got  [FAILED] 
I repeated it and got 
[FAILED]  local host IP not available 
In the panel is a ? which when clicked gives 
Temporary error in name resolution. 
So far I haven't learned what this IP is about.

    Hi Bill, 
 
I have one of those beasties. A pretty OK laser printer for the money. 
The Linux driver is actually a bit faster than the windows version. 
 
The Brother HL-7x0 series needs the following procedure done to clear 
the the queue after a foul-up: 
 
Turn off the printer 
Stop the print daemon ( use the /etc/init.d/lpd stop  command as root) 
Turn on the printer 
Start the lpd ( /etc/init.d/lpd start) 
 
That's what my foggy memory is telling me. I haven't used the Brother 
since I moved the office 6 months ago. It didn't help that a cat 
attacked the output tray trying to get the paper as it emerged and broke 
off the plastic "ears" that hold it to the main chassis. Again.

      Hello, 
After getting RH in my HP Pentium II at the Installfest, I installed a 
Brother HL-720 printer today.  After printing 2 of 3 pages from 
Mapquest, the printer indicated toner out.  I replaced the cartridge and 
there was an error light which can be cleared by unplugging the printer 
cable and cycling the printer off.  I reset the print queue and the same 
2 pages printed and the error light flashed.  Rebooted - same error 
light.  Attempts to print additional items failed.  I entered "lprm" to 
cancel anything pending and got "local host IP not available."Â  I don't 
know what to make of that and I'm out of ideas.  I would appreciate 
help.  I am new to this so please be explicit. 
Yours truly, 
Bill
