Dear all,
During the break, I messed up my system quite seriously.
Therefore, I reinstall the Freebsd 2.1 from the scratch. Now I restore
upto 90%. But I can not make my printer work by no means.
Previously, I could print many different types of files with apsfilter-4.9.1
& ghostscript-2.6.2 from my old HP LaserJet IIp printer.
Now I've reinstalled ghostscript-2.6.2 & apsfilter-4.9.2. I try to print
regular ascii file, such as "lpr -Plp ANNOUNCE", but nothing is printed:
as soon as I issue that command, I check the print queue by "lpq -Plp":
it indicates "no entries".
This happens no matter what I print!!! -> actually nothing seems to be
spooled at all....
So, I look at the /var/log/lpd-errs. I have a following error message:
Jan 2 20:48:11 slip7 lpd[3175]:
cannot execv /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/aps-ljet2p-letter-auto-mono
============
?!?!
If I do "cat <some ascii file> > /dev/lpt0", then the printer is
responding.
Currently, I have a horrible time to fix that problem....
If it is possible, would you recommend some solutions?
Thanks in advance.
