I need help! Can anyone show me what's wrong or missing?
HP DeskJet 672c works correctly with Windows 98, so it must be
physically connected correctly. But when I enter either lp or lpr, I
get this message:
" lpr: lp: unknown printer"
What I HAVE done so far:
- a MAKEDEV to create /dev/lpt0
- created a filter (/usr/local/libexec/hpif) verbatum from the online
Handbook
- altered /etc/printcap to
printer|lp|HP Desk......:\
and added :if=/usr/local/libexec/hpif:
- created /etc/rc.local (lpcontrol -i)
Also, ps -aux reveals no lptd daemon, although there is a
/var/spool/output/lpd directory out there.
#lptest > /dev/lpt0 gets the printer hardware's attention, but nothing
prints.
Any suggestions?
