RE: Need some help with printing on a LaserWriter IIg

[Morgan Reed]

I need help.  still can't get the printer to work and am starting to get
frustrated.  I need to know if anyone can explain what is happening in the
following line:


        job 'cfA679LinuxBox2.thereedfamily.org' transfer to lp@localhost failed

My printcap is as follows, there is a space after the last line, and there
is nothing else in the printcap except the double ## text at the top:

lp:\
        :of=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ofpap:\
        :lp=/dev/null:\
        :sd=var/spool/lpd/LaserWriterIIg:\
        :pl#63:pw#85:\
        :mx#0:\
        :sh:\
        :sf


I have set up a directory in the lpd folder called LaserWriterIIg and the
filters are in the directory /usr/lib/atalk/filters/ and the ethernet name
of the printer is MMLab IIg.
I have a .paprc in the dir /var/spool/lpd/LaserwriterIIg and it reads:
MMLab IIg

I can print with pap -p "MMLab IIg" test1.ps, that works fine.  but I get
the lp@localhost error when I try to do lpr -P lp test1.ps


I need help in a big way!

Sincerely,



Morgan
