I use CUPS to print from my Sid system. When I go to print from Mozilla, I get to choose from:
huffalump@:64
spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs@:64
PostScript/default
"huffalump" is the name of the laser printer on my FreeBSD box across the
room, served via CUPS. My /etc/printcap is pretty barren:
# /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.
lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:pc#150:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# rlp|Remote printer entry:\
# :lp=:\
# :rm=remotehost:\
# :rp=remoteprinter:\
# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
# :mx#0:\
# :sh:
So, where is Mozilla finding huffalump? What does the "@:64" suffix mean?
And why can't I print to it?
