I seem to recall
that there could be a path problem with lpr if CUPS is installed and one
tries to use lpd, but I've forgotten how to deal with that, if indeed
that is the problem.
CUPS installs its binaries into /usr/local/bin, if not compiled
with options saying otherwise (in which case it can replace the
system's programs). Depending on $PATH, /usr/bin/lpr or CUPS's
/usr/local/bin/lpr can be invoked. By explicitely using
# /usr/bin/lpr /etc/printcap
for example, you can be sure to call the correct program.
By the way, using the printer's name as -P parameter for the
default printer's name (lp) is not needed. You can also use
the environment variable PRINTER to define a standard printer's
name instead of lp.
BTW, I have included ulpt0 as a permission in my
/etc/fstab file.
Do you mean /etc/devfs.conf, /etc/devfs.rules or /etc/devd.conf,
as the file system table doesn't seem to be involved here? :-)
Sorry...I did indeed mean /etc/devfs.conf! And thank you for your
reply. I have to run out for a bit, but when I return I will try to get
the path thing straightened out.
