When I say "nothing happens", I mean that no print jobs begin, the
printer (which works under Win2k, sigh) makes no sound, there is nothing
in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages or the print spool files, that I
can tell. If I print a large enough file (like under gimp), it takes
long enough to process (??), that briefly I see an item in the "lpstat"
output, but nothing else shows up; in seconds or less the lpstat output
goes blank and nothing is in the printer. Also when I "cat somefile.txt
> /dev/lp0" I get the same output (nothing) and no files (other than
lpstat output, briefly) seem to change anywhere that I've been able to
check.
There are other details in the archive in other messages under this
thread, but I don't mind repeating anything at all--in fact I'm grateful
for any ideas good or bad, at this point!
Thanks,
Luke

Hi,
What do you mean by "nothing happens", and "does not work"? What lpq
command output says? What about syslog? Recently I had a printcap file
with
chars at the end of each line which caused the problems.
deamon.
If you try to check out those log might help you and us to find a problem
on your system. Or do you want to reinstall it from the ground-up?
