I am fairly new to Linux, and I am just about to install my printserver with Debian (Potato).
The printer refuses to print a postscript file by use of lpr. I used "magicfilterconfig --force" several times, but I receive no printout. I looked at the printcap-file, and compared with different information I found in the net, but as I can judge it seems o.k. I can print a file using: gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=necp6 -sOutputFile=\|lpr (filename) it works perfectly. That tells me that lpd is running, isn't it? But using: lpr (filename) I receive no output from the printer. I can watch for a short time, using lpq that the printjob is in the print-queue. Not any reaction of the printer is the result. When I remove the command: sh in the printcap I receive a trailing page. So, my conclusion is, the problem is in the magicfilter-file. But what can be the problem? I tried different parameters the first two lines in "necp6-filter", and it did not solve the problem. I was reading among others that the printcap-file must be activated as an executable. How can I test, or perform, this? Or is it a permission problem? How to test this? thanks in advance for your help. Wolfgang
