The cupsd daemon starts just fine and my hp laserjet works to print a test page from cups. I've added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf (similar except for the path and user) to what's in the cups manual) printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/cups/daemon/lpd-cups lpd-cup The cups manual has a user of lp, but FreeBSD 4.4 has no such user, so I picked root. When I do a cat xxx | lpr -Plpt0 (that's what my printer is named under cups), The file winds up in the spool, but nothing happens other than the following error in /var/log/messages Jan 12 12:16:51 dhcppc2 lpd[277]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory Any ideas? It's patently obvious that /dev/lp does not exist, but how do I control this? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - FreeBSD 4.4 + xfce + sylpheed To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
