This is normal for programs that read data from stdin. Instead of
closing the window, type some stuf
cat < /dev/lp0
a short line
a second line
a third line
EOF
No such file or directory. Note visable in joe and KDE
file manager.
lpr
line1
line2
line3
EOF

lpr EOF
lpr cannot access EOF
A tad frustrating but hopefully the end is near
thanks

I take it you mean you typed `type lp' and that's the result.
tests you asked for:
lp command not found
lpr cursor goes to the next line and stays there until
the window is closed, (forever).
whereis says lpr is in /usr/sbin/lpr
whereis says lp is not there (actually its says
nothing)
I take it that magicfilter and the restoration of the
3 files is ok.

When you say something like "<< EOF" to your shell, it's called a
"here-document". You
Thanks
the cat command works when the end is EOF
and does not work with << EOF or < EOF
I haven't the slightest clue on why but can't argue
with success.

I am having problems with cut and paste on yahoo so
this is my typing.
Printcap
/etc/magicfilter/hp4000-filter is now
/etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter
ls /etc/magicfilter/ljet4-filter returns the command
check with joe (editor) and file is there.
Both cat commands work when it is EOF but not << EO

Okee, then you need a filter that turns postcript into PCL using ghostscript...

I think there are versions of this printer that are capable of doing
Postscript them selves. Does this printer has the Postscript addon?
Or do you have the full HP name for it?
I hope this answers the questions.
Printer is hplaserjet4plus
