Hi,
I'm running a 2.4.0-test11 kernel under debian linux (potato + a little
woody). I have a printcap file which has worked before. I understand
that what used to be /dev/lp1 in 2.0 kernels is now /dev/lp0 so I have
made this change. But neither lprng, nor the standard lpr work. I have
unplugged and plugged the cable so I think it's connected okay.
Using lprng, when I do lpq I get the following message, after waiting a
while:
# lpq
Printer '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' - cannot open connection - Connection timed out
Make sure LPD server is running on the server
Using lpr, the "lpq" command works, but when I try to print, it comes up
with
# lpr test.txt
lpr: connect: No such file or directory
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
I tried typing directly to /dev/lp0, but part way through it came up with
# cat > /dev/lp0
sasfasdf
asdfasdfsdf
cat: write error: Input/output error
I don't know what's wrong. Is there something wrong with my kernel?
I have the lp module loaded okay:
# lsmod

I don't know what else to try.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark.
P.S. My printcap is:
