Hi, I've just finished setting up lpr for the first time and I can't get it to work. When I enter the test line lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pprn I get the error message lpr: connect: No such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. I know my printer is set up correctly because I can print things manually by re-directing output to /dev/lpt0. I'm not sure if this error is caused by something that I entered wrong in /etc/printcap or something not set up right in my kernel, I'm pretty new to Unix right now. My setup files are as follows # # /etc/printcap # prn|lp|EPSON LQ-570+ ESC/P2:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/prn:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: ^D #!/bin/sh # #/usr/local/libexec/if-simple # /bin/cat && exit 0 exit 2 ^D if-simple is set as 555 I'm using a custom kernel but I tested it on the GENERIC kernel as well so I don't think its something I messed up in there. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. -- Geoffrey Robinson grobin@accessv.com Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
