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.
