Matt, > lpstat -t gives you all you wanted to know about your queues.
Thanks. t is my test file. "lp t" works. "lpr t" fails. peter@joule:~$ lpr t lpr: lp: unknown printer peter@joule:~$ lpr -PHPDeskJet500 t lpr: HPDeskJet500: unknown printer peter@joule:~$ cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. peter@joule:~$ /etc/printcap is only configuration file mentioned in man lpr. Should printcap contain only comments? Does anyone have a working lpr and non-empty printcap? Thanks, ...
