Hi, I have a fairly new install of Potato r3 and have apt-get install magicfilter and lprng.
I have an hp 940c deskjet printer attached to /dev/lp0 I seem to have no troubles printing simple text files such as /etc/hosts or whatever. I would use this command to print: lp /etc/hosts but I can't figure out how to get the banner page to come out. Here is the printcap created by magicfilter. # # Copyright (c) 1983 Regents of the University of California. # All rights reserved. # # Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted # provided that this notice is preserved and that due credit is given # to the University of California at Berkeley.
