Hi,
I'm having difficulties setting up my /etc/printcap file to
print to a Tek Phaser 440. The printer is on the network
and I can print to it from any of the Win* OSs, but not
from Linux/Debian. My printcap entry is :
lp1|Phaser 440 hallway:\
:lf=/var/log/lpperrs:\
:df=/etc/filter.ps:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:rm=128.165.168.165:\
:rp=text:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote_lp1:
Which is a copy of my entry for a HP5000, which works
fine. ( The only difference is the IP address in the rm field. )
I've tried rp = to ps, text, lp, lpr, and blank to no avail.
After a boot, lpc returns this for the status:
lpc> status
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries
no daemon present
lp1:
queuing is disabled
printing is disabled
no entries
no daemon present
:
queuing is disabled
printing is disabled
no entries
no daemon present
:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
1 entry in spool area
no daemon present
lpc>
Do not know why there is multiple level for lp1. This probably is not helping
printing to lp1.
lpc> restart all
lp:

lp:

waiting for queue to be enabled on 128.165.168.165
:

lpc>
When I try to print something, I see this:
$ lpq -Plp1
bajor2: waiting for queue to be enabled on 128.165.168.165
Rank Owner Job Files Total Size
1st harsh 10 t1.ps 641345 bytes
lp: bad queue name (check printcap entry)
$
So I guess I have two questions:
1) what is the correct printcap entry for a Tek Phaser 440?
2) Why do I have what appears to be multiple level of queuing on lp1,
More importantly how do I get rid of them? I've tried lpc stop, lpc disable,
commenting lp1 out of the printcap file and rebooting, manually restarting
lp1 thru lpc.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jim
