I am trying to setup a Lanier LD160c (admincolor) that has a network interface. I am new to FreeBSD and tried to follow the handbook. I am able to print to a HP 5SI (corp-admin) with no problems. There are no errors in the lpd-errs and the file is drained from the queue, but the printer does not print anything. And this is a working printer to Windows.
lpr -P admincolor testfile.txt
printcap:
corp-admin|hp|laserjet|Hewlett Packard LaserJet 5Si:\
:lp=\
:sd=/var/spool/output/corp-admin:rm=corp-admin:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/crlfilter:sh:tr=\f:mx#0:
admincolor|hp|laserjet|LANIER LD160c RPCS:\
:lp=\
:sd=/var/spool/output/admincolor:rm=admincolor:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
I have tried to edit the printcap file and change the 1st line to see if it has any difference, restarted the lpd. chkprintcap does not generate any messages. Any clues where I can start troubleshooting?
/var/spool/output
drwxrwx--- 2 daemon daemon 512 Oct 10 14:46 admincolor
drwxrwx--- 2 daemon daemon 512 Oct 10 14:05 corp-admin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Oct 10 13:37 lpd
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 5 Oct 10 14:28 lpd.lock
I would appreciate any help on this.
