I'm trying to print to a Laserjet 5 network printer. It seems to be working for the most part, but, when the printer is down, instead of jobs being spooled in the spool directory, the lpr command just times out and fails. Shouldn't these jobs be waiting in the spool directory until the printer is back online? Is something wrong with my printcap file (shown below) that this isn't happening?
Thanks, Gerry lp|hplj5|HP Lasterjet 5:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/hplj5:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/ljet4m-filter:\ :rm=192.168.1.53:rp=raw:
