Subject:   Printing via HP JetDirect EX
Message-ID:  <20020708220530.GA3461@sushi.sanyusan.se>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a HP LaserJet 5P that I have connected to a HP JetDirect EX which
is connected to my network. I'm using apsfilter. But I cannot print from
any FreeBSD box at all.

/etc/printcap:

lp|ljet4;r=300x300;q=medium;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\
	:lp=:\
	:rm=192.168.1.3:\
	:rp=raw:\
	:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
	:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
	:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sh:

'lpc status all' gives me:
lp:
	queuing is enabled
	printing is enabled
	4 entries in spool area
	waiting for 192.168.1.3 to come up

but 192.168.1.3 (the printserver) is up and running
64 bytes from 192.168.1.3: icmp_seq=0 ttl=60 time=7.621 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.3: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=4.354 ms

and I can print from a Windows box without problem.

I start lpd with:
lpd_enable="YES"

nmap also gives me the expected results:
Port       State       Service
9100/tcp   open        jetdirect

I really dont understand why lpd tells me that 192.168.1.3 isnt up and
online.

Any hints?
