Going through my backlog of messages on this mailing list. If you haven't
already fixed this problem or given up, you need to pipe the job to lpr
instead of letting papd place the job in the spool directory.
For example, change:
testprinter:\
:pr=lp1:
to:
testprinter:\
:pr=|/usr/bin/lpr -Plp1:
Papd doesn't create the file in the spool directory the way some LPD
daemons like it. In general, I think it is better anyways to let the
standard unix lpr command handle the job. This is especially true if you
run a non-standard LPD daemon, such as LPRng.
