I am having a problem printing with my ancient Cannon BJC-4000. At
first I couldn't print at all and found it necessary to rm -r
/var/spool/lpd, rm /etc/printcap and reinstall the lpd and lpdold (or
whatever you call that UCB print stuff) using yast. I then whent under
the configure hardware|printers and selected bjc-600. This got the
printer to print. As I remember there used to be four apsfilters in my
printcap. One of them had the word 'color' in it. I am not currently
able to print color. Here's what my current printcap looks like:
ascii|lp1|bjc600-letter-ascii-mono-360|bjc600 letter ascii mono 360:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/bjc600-letter-ascii-mono-360:\

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to fix this?
TIA,
