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

/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, ... Peter E.
My /etc/printcap only lists a non-existing dot matrix printer
and lpr works fine here.
CORRECTION of last post....Sorry
Try this
~# which lpr
/usr/bin/lpr
~#dpkg -S /usr/bin/lpr
cups-bsd: /usr/bin/lpr
If cups-bsd is not shown then remove the lpr package and install
the cups-bsd package.
Don't know what else to suggest.
