Hello,
I installed lpr-ppd, printfilters-ppd and printtool through dselect.
I used printtool to set up our printer and have the problem that I can't
print to it now. When (as a user) I do 'lpr -Plj8150 maccoss_2002.pdf &&
lpq' I get: no entries. 'ps aux | grep lpd' gives me:
root 23485 0.0 0.0 2048 732 ? S 09:33 0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
- so that seems to be running.
I have attached /etc/printcap, lpc 'status' and ls -l /var/spool/lpd output.
Please give me a hint. What am I doing wrong?
Joh
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database. See printcap(5).
# You can use the filter entries df, tf, cf, gf etc. for
# your own filters. See /etc/filter.ps, /etc/filter.pcl and
# the printcap(5) manual page for further details.
