Hi group,
After struggling unsuccessfully with CUPS I installed
lprng and apsfilter. I got as far as printing the test
page in apsfilter-setup but any attempt to print
fails.
Here's a recent xterm session:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lpq
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - No
such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
and accepts connections from this host and from
non-privileged (>1023) ports
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lpstat
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - No
such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
and accepts connections from this host and from
non-privileged (>1023) ports
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - No
such file or directory

and accepts connections from this host and from
non-privileged (>1023) ports
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lpstat -d
system default destination: lp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ man lpoptions
No manual entry for lpoptions
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ su
Password:
sarawak heathen # lpoptions
bash: lpoptions: command not found
sarawak heathen # lpc reread
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - No

What the heck is this "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?
Anybody see a problem here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of
hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It
is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers
are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used
instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the
names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...

I'm using an HP612C attached to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Feb 18 02:00 /dev/lp0
Which is odd because according to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/lprng/printcap
# /etc/printcap: printer capability database.

lp|Generic dot-matrix printer entry
:lp=/dev/lp1
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:af=/var/log/lp-acct
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
:pl#66
:pw#80
:pc#150

:sh
# rlp|Remote printer entry
# :lp=
# :rm=remotehost
# :rp=remoteprinter
# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote
# :mx#0
# :sh
the printer is attached to /dev/lp1. I've edited that
line to /dev/lp0 but it made no difference.
