I need help. still can't get the printer to work and am starting to get
frustrated. I need to know if anyone can explain what is happening in the
following line:
job 'cfA679LinuxBox2.thereedfamily.org' transfer to lp@localhost failed
My printcap is as follows, there is a space after the last line, and there
is nothing else in the printcap except the double ## text at the top:
lp:\
:of=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=var/spool/lpd/LaserWriterIIg:\
:pl#63:pw#85:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:sf
I have set up a directory in the lpd folder called LaserWriterIIg and the
filters are in the directory /usr/lib/atalk/filters/ and the ethernet name
of the printer is MMLab IIg.
I have a .paprc in the dir /var/spool/lpd/LaserwriterIIg and it reads:
MMLab IIg
I can print with pap -p "MMLab IIg" test1.ps, that works fine. but I get
the lp@localhost error when I try to do lpr -P lp test1.ps
I need help in a big way!
Sincerely,
Morgan
