I have the same problem, plus another lprng issue. Printer is a networked PS printer, so printcap contains rm=PRINTERNAME, rp=PORT1.
1. Installed lpr (not lprng). # lpr a.ps - works kword - sees the printer, but nothing comes out. 2. Installed lprng # lpr a.ps - error messages complaining about localhost. Off to the lprng site: found http://www.astart.com/lprng/forcelocalhost.htm Ugh. Tried the fix: # lpr [EMAIL PROTECTED] a.ps - works ! Has someone compiled Debian's lprng with force_localhost ?? kword - doesn't see any printers.
