Hello,
I have been trying to set up my printer to work so I can print from
Netscape. I have so far not had any luck. I have looked in the log and get
this:
May 7 00:54:32 cybertouch lpd[7564]: cannot execv /dev/lpt0
May 7 00:54:32 cybertouch lpd[7563]: lp: job could not be printed
(cfA019cybertouch.org)
The current /etc/printcap has this working entry:
lp|canon-bubblejet-4000:canon-bubblejet-600:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/bjc600.log:\
:if=/dev/lpt0:if=/usr/local/libexec/bjc600:
which produces the above log
But if I change the /etc/printcap to what Greg Lehey's FreeBSD book says,
which is this:
#lp|local line printer:\
# :sh:\
# :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:mx#0:\
# :if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter
I am able to print regular text files.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks,
