hello
is buster
I can print from command line with
"lp filename"
but not with "lpr filename"
when printing from terminal the font is a bit big and uses too much
paper.
apparently "enscript -FCourier10 filename" for example is supposed to
work but that sends it to lpr which doesn't.
Can try to get lpr to work as I have in the past or try to get
enscript to use lp
Or maybe there is another way to change printed font size from terminal
?
I'm not really understanding.
Is "lp" to do with CUPS and "lpr" to do with lpd daemon ?
I have CUPS server on other PC.
on client PC
$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP_LaserJet_4000_Series
device for HP_LaserJet_4000_Series: socket://10.0.0.108
"lp filename" prints OK
"systemctl start lpd.service"
"lpr filename" (nothing happens)
"enscript filename"
[ 1 page * 1 copy ] sent to printer
(but nothing happens)
enscript filename | lp
[ 1 page * 1 copy ] sent to printer
lp: No file in print request.
$ enscript -d filename
lpr: test: unknown printer
$ enscript -P filename
lpr: test: unknown printer
Do I need to put some sensible values in /etc/printcap to have enscript
working as at the moment /etc/printcap seems to be defining a local
printer ?
Or is there some way to tell any printer requests should go to CUPS
server ?
