I have this in /sys/lib/lp/log/lexmarkx203n.s

connecting to tcp!-!printer
 trying from port 721...failed

 trying from port 731...failed
Cannot open a valid port!
-  All source ports [721-731] may be busy.
-  Is recipient ready and online?
-  If all else fails, cycle the power!

That doesn't look right, so I changed /sys/lib/lp/devices to read

# Lexmark X203N
lexmarkx203n - x203n x203n - post+600dpigeneric generic lpdspool lpd - -

connecting to tcp!x203n!printer
 trying from port 721...connected
: 72.11% sent
: 100.00% sent
11360 bytes sent, status: waiting for end of job
11360 bytes sent, status: end of job

Now it did work!

However it prints a "helpful" first page with my name (this presumably
should contain details about the print job).  Can I disable this
feature?

Also, I tried to print a Plan 9 paper and the font is all wrong.  I
guess the printer doesn't have the correct fonts.  What to do in this
case?

Thanks,
