I started with cubs-bsd and then used lpr. I now also try lprng. I reinstalled cups-bsd and and end up in bad shape a lpr test.txt lpr: Error - No default destination. My printer lost its status as default, but I can't get to the CUPS web page to restore it b) Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:631. I do have access to internet. c) $ lpr -PHP_LaserJet_1320_series test.txt lpr: Error - The printer or class does not exist. These problems I'll pursue, but my pont is that none of the ways to get access to the lpr command are workig. -- Haines Brown _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
