I have having some probelms getting my basic print setup to work under 2.2.1-Release. When I try to use lpr to print - I get a message like :- bash$ lptest 30 10 | lpr lpr: connect: No such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. bash$ ..and sure enough lpq shows the queued files. I can print by catting a file to /dev/lpt0, so I know the printer is working ok. My printcap looks like :- lp|hp|HP bubblejet 670C:\ :sh:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ :lf=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple: and if-simple looks like :- #!/bin/sh # # if-simple - Simple text input filter for lpd # Installed in /usr/local/libexec/if-simple # # Simply copies stdin to stdout. Ignores all filter arguments. /bin/cat && printf "\f" && exit 0 exit 2 and /var/spool/output/lpd looks like :- bash# ls /var/spool/output/lpd .seq dfA008darkstar.blacksun.net.au cfA008darkstar.blacksun.net.au bash# .. so has anyone got an idea what the problem could be ? Thanks Anthony Hill
