Sigh. Next time, please post the six damn lines inline. rp:HP PRinter:\ :lp=:rm=192.168.1.6:rp=lp:\ :af=/etc/foomatic/hp.ppd:\ :if=/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip:\ :sd=/var/spool/output:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ :sh: > # export PRINTER=rp@<IP> Does that mean "rp@192.168.1.6"? Anyway, I don't think this is correct: it should be simply "rp", i.e. the name of the printer in your printcap. With the above printcp, an empty lpq, and a correctly running lpd, what does the following do? echo test | lpr -Prp If it doesn't work, what does lpd-errs say?
