I have a Lexmark 5700 inkjet printer, and I'm trying to get it work in
BSD.
I searched through the archives of the mailing lists for lexmark, and
tried all the suggestions there (mostly changing the printcap file). my
current printcap looks like:
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/lp.errors:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
/usr/local/libexec/if-simple exsists (it's the one suggested for
troubleshooting in the handbook) and it has the correct permissions.
After I try lptest 20 5 | lpr -Pprinter-name, i get no errors (either from
sdtout or /var/spool/lpd/lp.errors), and nothing prints out. The printer
works fine in windows (of course). So I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Karl Mueller
