That -d may have now changed things, but okay.
"lpc status lp" gives that:
lp:
queuing is enabled
printing is enabled
no entries in spool area
printer idle
That's good. Try sending a short test file to the printer, like
ls -lh | lpr
("lp" is the default, so "-Plp" is not needed.)
The beast does it. At least, it does print from the command line like
"cat /etc/rc.conf|lpr".
Watch the printer display to see if it receives a job. If the printer
doesn't print, check the status with lpc again. Oh, and you might want
to check that the printer is set to Auto personality so it'll accept all
types of print jobs.
Don't know, but I set group and owner to daemon:daemon. Incidentally,
Which directories do you include in "daemon:daemon"?
The spool dir, but 'chown -R daemon:daemon /var/spool/lpd' should be all
right, too.
I changed that so it is now like yours.
using the first name of the printer (lp) for the spooldir would make
more sense to me.
I did change that but it seems not to have any effect. I also took my
user in the groups "daemon" and "operator" but that didn't help, too.
You should not be a member of the daemon group; operator is fine. And
also beware of changing multiple settings at the same time.
I rechanged that, too. Now I am out of "daemon".

The printer does not accept a job from a GUI application like "Firefox"
or "Thunderbird". So how can I go on from now?
