Hi,
I am using a USB to centronix cable to my Lexmark Optra and lpr prints sometimes, and then sometimes it
won't. /dev/ulpt0 support is compiled into my kernel.
"lpc status lp" command reports that it is up, a job is spooled, and the printer is idle but nothing comes
out.
I am finding the following types of messages in /var/log/lpd.errs:
lp: unable to open dfA000xenon ('f' line)
lp: job could not be printed (cfA000xenon)
xenon is the name of my computer. I am wondering if this is another problem with my hosts file?
it has only these lines in it:
::1 localhost xenon
127.0.0.1 localhost xenon
"sockstat" shows for lpd:
root lpd 489 3 dgram -> /var/run/logpriv
root lpd 489 5 stream -> /var/run/printer
root lpd 489 6 tcp6 *.515
root lpd 489 7 tcp3 *.515
I am not certain what exactly is going on and if there is anywhere else I should be looking for clues.
Thanks!
Rob Lytle
