I am trying to set my Debian box to print to an HP LJ-8000 with a Jet Direct card. has anyone ever done this?
I want the name of the printer to be surgery. Assuming 111.222.333.444 is the IP of the Jet Direct card, here is my current setup: printcap: #======================================== lp|surgery|Surgery:\ :lp=/dev/null:sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/surgery:\ :rm=111.222.333.444:rp=raw: surgery-text:\ :lp=/dev/null:sh:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/surgery-text:\ :rm=111.222.333.444:rp=text: #======================================== If I enter the command line: lpr -P surgery-text myfile.txt or: lpr -P surgery mypsfile.ps I get nothing. If I check lpq, it shows that a job was processed by the queue, but nothing comes out of the printer. Any ideas? Thanks. ==================================================== A.
