Re: Network Printing (continued)
Thank for your reply, I appreciate it, but you know what's crazy that worked. It apears that lpr was reading /usr/bin/lpr and well, it looks like cups uses /usr/local/bin/lpr. So needless to say it all works dandy now!! Thanks again! :) On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:48:59 +0100, B H [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: gabriel skrev: Here's what I tried: insomniac# echo wee | lpr -P HPPRINTER lpr: Unable to connect to /var/run/printer: No such file or directory lpr: Check to see if the master 'lpd' process is running. jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. insomniac# You need to backup the original lpd lpr files.

Network Printing (continued)
Okay, is it my luck or what? - Oliver and I were able to figure out why the test page option of the cups web interface wasn't working (/var../tmp did not exist) so I was able to get the test page to print. Well, in all the excitement I failed to test printing a file through the cli, when I tried later on when I needed to it failed (Imagine my surprise!). Here's what I tried: insomniac# echo wee | lpr -P HPPRINTER lpr: Unable to connect to /var/run/printer: No such file or directory lpr: Check to see if the master 'lpd' process is running. jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. insomniac# This is using cupsd and my jetdirect printer. Here's the /etc/printcap generated by cups: insomniac# cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. HPPRINTER|HPPRINTER:rm=insomniac.normal1.net:rp=HPPRINTER: insomniac# *sigh* - Knowing my luck, I should have tested it earlier. If anyone can think of a solution please let me know. I've looked at cup's logs and nuffing.
