Hello everybody, As a follow up to my tales of not-printing woe...
>From a forum I read to use $lpr -l test ie -l Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering. This option is equivalent to "-oraw". This time the printer whirred to life printed the first line of text across the very top of the paper then quit with the orange error light blinking. BTW, this is a DeskJet 612C using the hpijs driver. >From the log: sarawak heathen # tail -n 30 /var/log/cups/err* D [23/Jan/2006:19:46:20 -0700] StartJob: envp[15]="IPP_PORT=631" d [23/Jan/2006:19:46:20 -0700] StartJob: Allocating status buffer...
