Printing from Netscape
I'm having problems printing from Netscape. When I try to print, all I get is either a blank page or a page that has the following printed on it: Error: /invalidfont in findfont Operand stack: F0 Times-Roman Font Times I'm trying to print to a remote printer running on another linux box. Printing from other sources like xemacs, mail, command line lp commnds, etc. work fine. Also, printing via samba from my NT box works fine. Any ideas why this is happening? This is the same sort of error I was getting when I was trying to use true type fonts. However, since then, I have done a clean install of slink from cd, and am not using the true type fonts. How do I fix this? Thanks, chris
[Slightly Off-Topic] Printing from Netscape - page address
Hello, Is there any way to get the Netscape Browser (in communicator 4.5) to include the address of the web page on the top corner of the printout. The same version of netscape but for M$ does this automatically, even when attached to a linux print server. Is there anything I can do to get this functionality. It is not that important (not worht using M$ for) but it would be nice. Thanks in advance. byeee John.

It should say lpr. lpr is the "client" that sends a page to the printer. lpd is the daemon. i.e. the server. > Is there some other place I need to specify which printer in my > printcap I want to print to?

I am assuming that you have set up the printcap entries OK. Sidenote: Netscape Navigator / Communicator generates postscript of the page that needs to be printed and passes it on to the print command. This lets you make nice and interesting things like printing back-to-back and 2-uped pages using psnup etc. Thaths -- "See, Marge.

Then if you want to print to a printer other than the default use "lpr -P PRINTERNAME". I could be wrong, though. What do you use to print outside of netscape? If you use "lpr", then I am pretty sure my suggestion should work -- Jim Crumley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |

How do you print to a remote printer from netscape? When I click on the "print" button, I get a screen with the print command defaulting to "lpd." Is there some other place I need to specify which printer in my printcap I want to print to? I've got my printcap setup with a couple of different printers, named by their host name. If I just click "PRINT" when taking the defaults, it gives me an error: "lpd: Fatal error - another print spooler is using TCP printer port, possibly lpd process '139'" Any suggestions? == Brian Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Support Specialist http://brian.greenville.edu IBM Mobile Systems Specialist 618-664-2800 ext. 4241 Information Technology 618-338-4963 pager Greenville College, IL ICQ: 13798434 "1 ... 2 ... 5!" --King Arthur

Does anybody know why you don't get the top and bottom lines on your print like in Windows, where Netscape prints the Title, URL, Date and Time? Is it Netscape/Linux', magicfilter's or ghostscript's fault?

Re: printing from netscape
When you print from netscape, it sends postscript to the printer. Assuming you don't have a Postscript printer, you need to use ghostscript and a print filter (try the magicfilter package). eric.

printing from netscape
Is it possible to print the page that you are displaying in netscape? When I try to do so I get the messag "lpr:stdin: empty". I generally use lynx so am not very familiar with netscape.

I have emptied the caches.Please advise. Advice is difficult with so little information. 1. What command is run by the print dialog in Netscape? 2.

Printing from Netscape fails
I'm running a Debian-1.3.1 machine at our institute with the current lprng and magicfilter, both in the versions from stable. Printing works just fine from a bash prompt but when i try from out of Netscape-3.01 i only get the following error message: Netscape: subprocess diagnostics (stdout/stderr) lp: Find_printcap_entry: name 'lp' has meta character '|' I've set up Netscape the way it is described in the document "http://members.ping.at/theofilu/netscape.html"; to make it stop segfaulting at random. My startup script looks like this: #!/bin/bash LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape # ldd /usr/local/bin/netscape /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape $* Any idea someone what could be the problem?
