I'm having problems getting my printer going. It was working, then I had
to reinstall, and now I can't get it back up. Following is a sequence of
events that seem fairly typical:
# ps ax | grep lpd
1864 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
1865 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
# lpr -Plp deleteme.txt
lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.
# ps ax | grep lpd
1864 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/lpd
1885 ttyp0 S 0:00 grep lp
# tail /var/log/lpr.log
Apr 11 14:49:04 firestarter lpd[1865]: lp: lost connection
# cat /etc/printcap
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=192.168.2.50:\
:tr:\
:rp=lp:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
:lpd_bounce=true:
# npadmin --status 192.168.2.50
status="ready to print";
As you can see, it's a network printer (HP LaserJet 2100TN). Every time,
it's the same. I just cannot get anything to print. If anyone has any
advice, I'd really appreciate it.
