I had a simple printcap file for printing using lpd and foomatic-rip for
about seven years now but since past release it stop working
predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 5.6 GENERIC.MP#333 amd64

I am of course in the daemon group and /etc/ulpt0 is owned by daemon
with permission 664. Spooling directory has correct permission. This is
the only thing I see in log files

Aug 19 23:10:16 oko lpd[15224]: lp: job could not be printed
(cfA002oko.bagdala2.net)
However /tmp/foomatic-rip-mF6GXB.log is a bit more revealing
foomatic-rip version 1.0.54 running...
called with arguments: '-w132', '-l66', '-i0', '-n', 'predrag', '-j',
'stdin', '-h', 'oko.bagdala2.net', '/etc/foomatic/lpd/lp.ppd'
No printer definition (option "-P <name>") specified!
I am getting that even though I replaced my original file with the one
generated by foomatic-configure utility.
lp|HP|HP PhotoSmart C5200:\
:ppdfile=3D/etc/foomatic/lpd/lp.ppd:\
:sd=3D/var/spool/output/lp:\
:lf=3D/var/log/lpd-errs:\

:af=3D/etc/foomatic/lpd/lp.ppd:\

:mx#0:
lp.ppd is just renamed original PPD file which I used for many years. I
remember there was a way to generate that file from that but I forgot
how to do it as it was so long time ago.=20
The above is obviously caused by options passed to foomatic-rip. I also
dislike the fact that one of the paths involve CUPS.
Can somebody point to me what am I doing wrong here. I noticed that
/etc/foomatic is no longer created automatically. Also filter.conf file
is no longer needed?
Thanks!
