Here is one of my printcap entries for a laserjet. It works great. Maybe
if you compare them you will find the problem.
lp|laser|ljet4;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\
:lp=:\
:rm=192.168.5.251:\
# :rp=192.168.5.251:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laser:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/laser/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/laser/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
A regular line printer that I use to print checks from another unix box is:
cheques|Impresora para cheques:\
:sh:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if.sh: \
:rm=192.168.5.250:sd=/var/spool/output/cheques:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I also have a line printer for accounting that has a wide carrage and it is.
lp|local line printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=192.168.5.252:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
# :rm=192.168.5.251:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
All my windows machines can print to all as can the unix boxes. I'm using
three different brands of print servers, BTW.
I hope this helps,
