Re: [9fans] CUPS printing
It looks like OSX enables lpd printing when you share a printer on the network - I just added an entry for that IP address and queue name of the print & it worked!

Alternatively I would suggest you enable lpr/lpd printing on the OSX server which plan9 supports out of the box. see the lp(8) and /sys/doc/lp.8 -Steve
[9fans] CUPS printing
Hi, I've got a question that you might be able to answer - I've just installed Plan9 on Parallels and I've got the networking set up OK. Now I want to set up a printer - I've got a HP deskjet printer attached to an OSX server (so I could connect to it via CUPS or SAMBA) - is there anyway to get Plan9 to print to it Thanks Keith
[9fans] Developing in plan9
Hi, I've been interested in plan 9 for a while now & I've recently installed it on my MacBook Pro (under Parallels) and I've been digging around in it (setting up networking, getting used to acme, etc), but now I want to look into developing programs. Are there any good starting points for this? Cheers Keith
[9fans] A few questions about plan 9
Hello,I've just got Plan 9 installed on a spare machine and I've got it mostly working - if it's OK, I'd like to ask some questions about the setup and plan 9 in general.First off, I've managed to connect to plan9 using drawterm from my powerbook. I followed the instructions from http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Drawterm_to_your_terminal/diff.html which worked very well - I do have a query though, it seems to imply that you have to execute "echo 'key user=glenda dom=drawterm.test proto=p9sk1 !password=loginpassword' > /mnt/factotum/ctl" each time you reboot the machine - is this true, or is this only required on the first use?Also, does anyone use drawterm on OSX? I can't find the del key to interrupt executing programs.I'm also trying to look at my plan9.ini file, after searching the internet, I have discovered that it's on a separate partition which can be accessed using the 9fat: command, executing this command though gives the error message: "mount: can't open /srv/dos: '/srv/dos' permission denied" - help?!?One final question, what resources are there to learn about development under plan9 - I've found bits & pieces, but I'd like to know what is available.Thanks for your timeKeith
