Do you see something wrong in the config? Should I see some kind of
output in /var/log/messages?
Not sure why you point me to the HOWTO which I've read several times
before and now skimmed to see something about debug. The word doesn't
even appear anywhere in the entire HOWTO.
The other Printing HOWTO contains two hits and neither are remotely
helpfull for this. The vast bulk of that other HOWTO is circumvented
with redhats `printtool'.
grep debug .helpfiles/HOWTO/Printing-Usage*
(Nothing)
The -D flag isn't even mentioned there.
The section on rh-printtool is non-usefull boilerplate.
Two tiny discussions of remote printing deal with antique non-usefull
baloney.
It does show lpr syntax exactly as I'm using it.
$ lpr [ options ] [ filename ... ]
I did lpr -V filename
and
lpr -V -Plp filename
stopped and started lpd several times.
Also had already tried the direct to device method mentioned there:
cat file > /dev/lp
None of that leaves a dent in /var/log/messages and none of it prints
anything.
Trying the syntax shown in the HOWTO:
The /etc/printcap entry goes like this:
lp|remote-smbprinter:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:if=/usr/local/sbin/smbprint:
I changed the printcap generated by print tool to look more like the
one in the HOWTO:
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.
# lp:\
# :if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:\
##PRINTTOOL3## SMB uniprint NAxNA letter {} U_EpsonStylusColor stc800p {}
lp|remote-smbprinter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:if=/usr/bin/smbprint:
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:lp=/dev/null:
Still nothing happens... no printing, no syslog messages
