I have never set up printing in Linux. I just added a printer (Epson Stylus
Color 740) via parallel port and I have no idea where to begin.
I installed apsfilter and then magicfilter and apsfilter indicates that
/dev/lp0 /dev/lp1 etc are not installed, yet I can see they are installed.
The Printing HOWTO is just confusing me more. What do I need to install?
The printer sits there like a paperweight.
Status Information:
sending job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
connected to 'localhost'
requesting printer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
error 'LINK_TRANSFER_FAIL' sending str '^Bascii' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
job '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' transfer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed
Should I use lprng or something else for spooling?
thanks
