I'm experiencing weirdproblems untilo my own machine comes back,
apparently from minor differences betwen the thinkpad A21p and A22m.
Last week printing wouldn't work properly (but characters sort of came
through). I tried again today, but my application (lyx) is told,
lp: error - no default destination available.
checking with lpq gives the result,
lpq: Unable to contact server!
/etc/printcap still contains the single line,
lp|hplj4|Hp LaserJet 4:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter:\
any ideas?
