I'm stumped.
I'm trying to print to a remote printer (don't have a local one), and
everything looks right according to the howtos &tc. Here's my printcap:
# REMOTE HP4
lp|hp4:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4-raw:\
:rm=1<the ip address of my printer>:\
:rp=<the name of my printer as it shows on the printer's
configuration printout>:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sh:
And the contents of /var/spool/lpd:
drwx------ 2 daemon lp 1024 Oct 8 10:00 hp4-raw
drwx------ 2 daemon lp 1024 Oct 4 15:52 hplj4000n
drwx------ 2 daemon lp 1024 Sep 22 17:55 lp
This shows up in a "ps ax" command:
177 ? S 0:00 lpd Waiting
The results of a "lpc printcap":
Printer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
lp|hp4
:lp=/dev/null
:rm=150.252.128.29
:rp=npic82f19
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp4-raw
:sh
Someone had mentioned that there was a bug in lprng, but according to
apt-get, I've got the most recent version (3.6.10). Here's my
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
I can print to the printer from my NT-in-VMWare via an NT print server
down the hall, but I can't print via that NT print server from my linux
box, so I am trying printing directly it as above, but that doesn't work
either.
I can "rm *" all the files from /var/spool/lpd/hp4-raw, then do a "lp
/etc/printcap", then here's the contents of /var/spool/lpd/hp4-raw:
-rw------- 1 daemon lp 6 Oct 8 10:36 lp
-rw------- 1 daemon lp 6 Oct 8 10:36 unspooler.lp
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
