Please offer any advice relating to my printing problem with FreeBSD 2.10
I have a Canon BJ4100 Colour BubbleJet printer and I get the following
error whenever I send something to the printer via lpr:
lpr: connect: no such file or directory
job has been queued but daemon failed to start
Note: the printer is connected and functional with Windows 95/NT, etc.
and FreeBSD can print a test page to it via lprtest.
The following is my Printcap file:
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
#lp|local line printer:\
# :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
lp|canon line:\
:sh:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd:\
:if=/var/local/libexec/if-simple:\
:if=/var/log/canon.log
Thanks,
Shazad
P.S. I have a P90 with 32MB RAM and I have created the spool directory
mentioned above. I also have about 10MB free HD space according to the df
command.
I was logged in as root at the time of these tests.
