Hi!
I am having trouble with installing a HP LaserJet 6L on my
4.4-RELEASE system. I've read the docs but without any luck.
To configure the system I have installed apsfilter and used its SETUP
script.
This is my printcap file:
lp|ps|lj|laserjet;r=600x600;q=medium;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/laserjet/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
The problem is that when I'm running "lpr <file>" to print
something, the printer keeps printing "white" papers and
can only be stoped by stopping the power supply for it.
Using "echo hello > /dev/lpt0" works without any problems.
Have I missed something in the configuration of the printer?
Best Regards,
Tor Stormwall
