Hi, while seeting up grml (HD-install) as my new working environmnet, I wanted to print on my CUPS printer server via cups-client from my grml running notebook:
Printing via "old" (BSD style) commands lpr $somefile always returns something like: "jobs queued, but cannot start daemon." and no page was printing :( Because "lpstat -o -p -d" shows all available printer queues, I was perplexed After playing around a bit I noticed that # aptitude show lpr Unable to find an archive "grml" for the package "lpr" Package: lpr State: installed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the problem. When printing via CUPS you need the wrapper package "cupsys-bsd" instead of "lpr" to be installed - otherwise all print jobs are handled by old BSD style lpr queue :/ This is _not_ really a grml bug, but maybe coexistent installing both of these packages should be thought over. Maybe this report helps other folks with same troubles -- Regards, Dipl.-Ing.
