Re: [9fans] Getting printing to work over ethernet
I have not progressed any further in getting lp(1) to print to my networked printer. But by playing around, I found a work-around that solves my problem for the moment: cat myfile.ps | telnet tcp!192.168.1.101!9100 /jonas
Re: [9fans] Getting printing to work over ethernet
OK. that explains why adding FIFO didn't make any difference. But now I know that I have done whatever you are supposed to do to make it work, so I will try to track down why there are errors. Wanted to know if there was something else to configure or run for the magic to work. The only relevant documentation I've found on the subject is lp(1) and lp(8), and /sys/src/cmd/lp/. /jonas -Ursprungligt Meddelande- From: erik quanstrom [quans...@quanstro.net] Sent: 27/8/2009 2:33:34 AM To: 9fans@9fans.net Subject: Re: [9fans] Getting printing to work over ethernet On Wed Aug 26 20:30:05 EDT 2009, ge...@plan9.bell-labs.com wrote: The final `FIFO' in the scheduler column of /sys/lib/lp/devices has been optional for a while.

Re: [9fans] Getting printing to work over ethernet
It's not documented in a manual page, I think you have to read /sys/doc/lp.*, section 4.

The final `FIFO' in the scheduler column of /sys/lib/lp/devices has been optional for a while. Everybody uses FIFO now, so it's the default.
