Re: [newbie] lpr .46 -- lpq still dead

Benjamin !

Did you try the extra step I tried which
corrected my constant buggy printing problems
of several weeks ago? i.e.

With LPD originally compiled as modular (by default)
in the 6.1 kernel

in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
at the end of the file past the last 'fi' I put;

/sbin/modprobe parport
/sbin/modprobe parport_pc
/sbin/modprobe lp

That finally cleared up several very aggravating problems
for me which had never cropped up before in ANY version
of Linux I have tried.

You are right in hoping the next version of Linux-Mandrake
will make it much easier for a "new-user" to get their printer
up and running without effort. Neither of us are "new-users" yet
we have had many problems reported on this List with something
as basic as default printer configuration.

Good Luck,

Dear Axalon:

Many users have reported this bug. Is Mandrake aware of it? Or are some
people reporting that it works fine? 

If it is a bug, will it be fixed soon?

Thanks.

Benjamin

I'd fix it if i could reproduce it, i'd guess config error except it seems
a little common for that.

[newbie] lpr .46 -- lpq still dead

1999-12-02 Thread Benjamin Sher 

Dear friends:

Just updated the new lpr v. 0.46. It fixes some security problems. But
the lpq command is still dead ("no entries"). lpq didn't work either in
0.38. Does Mandrake plan to fix this soon?

Thanks.
