Hey,
I have a HP LaserJet 1010 and I was trying to get it working with
FreeBSD, so I installed CUPS and configured it to recoginize the printer
and it does, I can successfully print a testpage using the webinterface.
So I was trying to print a file from commandline with lpr, but there is
something weird. This is the ouput of lpstat:
root@Print# lpstat -p -v -d
printer HP1010 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
CUPS v1.1.23 is ready to print.
device for HP1010: usb:/dev/ulpt0
system default destination: HP1010
but when I try printing a file using the command:
root@Print# lpr -PHP1010 /etc/motd
this shows up at my dmesg :
Nov 12 12:05:16 Print lpd[1905]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory
LPD is trying to print to /dev/lp instead of /dev/ulpt0, but I don't
know how to fix it. I tried symlinking /dev/lp to /dev/ulpt0 but that
wouldn't do the trick. I hope someone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Here some additional information:
root@Print# uname -a
