The printcap entry looks like this: ps1200|lp|Lexmark Optra R+ 1200dpi:\ :br#230400:of=/usr/local/bin/optrar-1200dpi-filter:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ps1200dpi:lp=/dev/cuaa9:sh:\ :ms=dsrflow,dtrflow,crtscts,ixon,cs8,-parenb,-parodd:mx#0: Printing works fine except when the printer is switched off. The print jobs get queued then and lpd waits for the printer to get switched on. As soon as the printer gets switched on the jobs get send to the printer but the printer is not yet ready then, so the jobs get lost. How do I have to configure printer and lpd?
