Hey folks. I'm sure someone has this one solved, so I've decided to
ask it here before putting another week of effort and confusion.
I'm trying to get FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE to print to an HP laserjet
4050tn printer. The printer is networked with its own spooling card
(Jetdirect or some such thing).
I Have the following in my /etc/printcap:
lp|laserjet:\
:rm=209.58.140.26:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lp=:rp=raw:
and I'm able to print postscript (finally) except it scales to 2 pages
per sheet - great when you're just trying to scan code out in the
hammock, but not when you're printing your vacation request.
Anyway, trying to print text just gives me a blank page with '----'
across the top, and a basic burst page with User, Host, Class, and
Job.
In my /var/spool/lpd/lp directory, I have the following:
# ls /var/spool/lpd/lp
.seq lock status
No filters are being used at this point, because everytime I try, I
get something like this:
lprps[40758]: ioctl(TIOCFLUSH): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Anyone else have better luck with this?
TIA
Lou
